You want to know what you meant to me?
You're repressed memory,
Some living ghost,
That haunts me in the halls.

Yeah take some time, work yourself out,
It's okay, I'll find someone else
It's not like,
This isn't what I saw in fall.

I'll keep,
I'll keep moving on
I'lll stay up,
By myself to dawn
That way I feel,
Nothing's wrong
I'll keep singing to myself,
My new "favorite" song.

****, how could I forget?
You, you were heaven sent,
Some lush angel in mourning,
That I never "knew"

The lights, they grew tired,
A stereo is now for hire
A lie,
And I'm not missing you

You're right,
Maybe I can't understand,
But you are the one,
That pushes away my hand.
I'll smoke,
while you repeat yourself again.
"You don't care about me",
Yeah, I'm not that kind of man.

You want to know what I see,
I see a drunk, a waste a mess
Avoiding me,
Do your best kid, just move along

I guess you can say the same about me,
Just change the faces and the names,
I am lost,
Why did I write this song?

Oh yeah,
Oh yeah just move along.
Nothing,
Nothing to see move along
If you ever ever get this noise,
Know I was wrong,
For looking your way,
and trying to tag along.

If I had a little piece of the puzzle
Would you say, Would you say
I have figured why you struggle?

If I had a lullaby,
Would you say goodnight,
And would you said I'm not afraid of free flight?

Pack up your bags and say goodbye
To all of your ******* nights,
Sleeping out, Sleeping out in the cold Wind

It blows on, and the devil sun rises,
It keeps my mind at ease
I'm a ******* tyrant, I do as I please

So please forgive me
For the way I'm screaming at your dog
It's nine o clock and I'm trying to get some ******* sleep

You see my friend sleeps with the fishes
He lost some money on a horse race
He now scrambles his brain, he's all over the place

So place me up on the shelf
Next to some trophy you stole
And I'll remind you that gold was not the goal

So gold digger, or grave digger
However you wanna be seen
Remember that it's all in a dream

Remember that it's all in a dream
Remember that you are a dream.

This city is mine
You know it feels fine
To have both the day and the night
You wanna go for a ride?
I wanna go for a ride

So I close my mind
Dial back time,
It's normal you know,
Have you changed your mind?
I can't turn back you know, I can't restart
Go ahead walk out of the city, turn back into morning star

The sky it keeps faling apart
You share my rib,
We share the same heart
I'll keep you safe from the storm
keep you clean keep you sheltered and warm.
Isaac come to the mountain top,
Everything is okay,
Yeah your with god
If you hear a mouse
Don't be alarmed
Its just my heart
Tagging along
I've gotta go now so heres my amends
The hero goes to hell, the storm it ends

Can you help me?
Can you, can you help me dream.
Because it seems
Like i close my eyes and it's morning

This motion sickness
I've had for far to long
And the barrel of whiskey is gone
And I don't know how I will get along

I keep dreaming That i'm dead
On the ship and it's sailing south
The wood has rotted away
Water is pouring into my mouth

I mean I don't watch the news
I just get it from the sky
But I've seen a few to many smoke clouds
To think that everything is alright

Are you alive
Are you alive
Am I?

Are you alright
Are you alright
Am I?

I keep dreaming That I'm dead
On the ship and it's sailing south
The wood has rotted away
Water is pouring into my mouth

Take a look
At my city
Can't you see
The flowers
How they grow

Take a look
Show me some pity
Dont you know
I'm no stranger's fool

Take a second
To find some deeper meaning
Don't you know
I'm the one
You call control

Take a second
To realign your haunting
Don't you know
Don't you know
I'm no fool

Take a look at me
You'll see an indigenous friend
I'm free my god I'm free

Take a look
At my city
Can't you see
The trees surround me

Take a look
Oh what a pity
You fool kid
You'll never be free

I said I'm sorry
And I'm sorry
You'll never be free

I'm starting,
to be able to see,
I'll map it out,
I'll get back to you next week.

Do you
Believe in me?
Or am I just a ghost
We'll wait around to see

Were you,
really conceived?
Or just some accident,
Marketed history.

These walls,
they're calm and cold
Whiskey wore them down now,
And I'm slurring their notes.
Oh I'm calm and cold now,
And I'm slurring my notes
Oh I'm calm and cold now,
And I'm slurring my notes
