When The Ghosts Came

When the ghosts came
There was no room to spare
The noise was too loud
You thought that no one cared
When the ghosts came
Their sharp teeth meant to scare
You couldn’t look away
They caught you unprepared
You couldn’t find an answer
The echo starts to fade
When your time is up
The day comes to an end
When the ghosts came
It was too much to bare
The world was turning black
Nobody thought you’d dare

Staring At Your Phone
03:07

Stop everything that you’re doing
Stop staring at your phone
Cause I’ve been waiting here for hours
I’ve been waiting for too long
There’s smoke inside the kitchen
There’s something on the stove
And there are signs I should have noticed
You wrote in lipstick on the walls
And I’ve had enough
Had enough of this
Stop acting like a savior
You know you aren’t heaven sent
The wind has blown away your cover
You’ve built a world inside your head
There’s no hiding in the backroom
And your tub is filled with snakes
You threw a match to light fire
To fuel the ghosts of past mistakes
And I’ve had enough
Had enough of this
I always come back
I always come back for more
I’m not ready to give you up Just yet

Strange Times
03:47

These are strange times
So close your eyes
The cashier
And the drifter
They carry us
These are strange times
We just want to survive
The man in suits
The men in power
They know what’s right
What a time to be alive
These are strange times
For us to thrive
The future
The treasure
What’s wrong with us
These are strange times
To take a dive
The water
The sunshine
What’s really ours?
What a time to be alive
There’s no one to follow
And no one’s right
There’s nothing remaining
After the fight
What a time to be alive

Happier
03:41
|

|
You bottle up your thoughts
Best of stories never told
Went swimming in the lake
Your pockets filled with stones
And here we are again
You found your own way out
You could swallow up the world
But You sank beneath the clouds
I just want to know
So much left unsaid
It’s easier to run away
easy to pretend
Are you happier?
As happy as can be
Are you happier?
Happier, then me?
The battlefield is rumbling
You’ve taste the taste of war
A backpack full of insults
That’s too heavy to unload
But you do not resemble anything I’ve seen
They boxed your stuff in a storage room
And left it there to sit
But I still do remember
It is tattooed to my heart
If there was something I could do
I’d do it from the start
Are you happier?
As happy as can be
Are you happier?
Happier, then me?

Lost In Conversations
04:15
|

We got lost in conversations
Curious eyes can open hearts
Changing scenes without transitions
Backseat stories in a car
The distance puts things in perspective
A recap when the day is done
It feels like home though so far away
There is so much more to come
When you’re greeting me with silence
Moments we’re both caving in
Sailor stranded on the highway
Moods are pictures in between
The distance puts things in perspective
A recap when the day is done
It feels like home though so far away
There is so much more to come
Killing time getting to new destinations
You make mistakes you play the game
I cannot change the world just my perception
Ain’t it strange how everyplace’s the same
The distance puts things in perspective
A recap when the day is done
It feels like home though so far away
There is so much more to come
