The Ghost Inside
Album • 2008
There's snakes among us I never bothered to find Starry-eyed and tongue tied, blurting out and rambling "On and on and on" Just hit repeat "On and on and on" One more time There's snakes among us, who's to blame this time? My own phoenix flight, or to ignite Crashed and burnt out, only to meet in the ashes A facade never meant to be 'Cuz it only makes sense to me Once again, I've burned and borrowed one and two, turned black and blue Poisoned before but found the cure, and been exhausted again "On and on and on" Just hit repeat "On and on and on" One last time "On and on and on" Just hit repeat "On and on and on" And so on It's in my head, on my mind It's in my fucking head Like a disease, I can't shake Repeat

Making the choice of being here or there Is the hardest thing I've had to do It's not as clear and concise as one would think I'm following my hopes and dreams And doing what's right for me A line was drawn, my choice was made Given the chance, I'll make you proud of me Give me a chance, I promise to succeed It's not as clear and concise as one would think I'm following my hopes and dreams And doing what's right for me A line was drawn and then my choice was made A line was drawn My choice was made

Three years, and counting, a long time for any endeavors Just get us away from here I have something you should know, that this will never end And our legs will forever hold these scars There's something you should know, there's more to this story We'll never fade, and our arms will forever have these scars Set a course, through sand and storm Never fearful, and always hopeful, let's go! I have something you should know, that this will never end And our legs will forever hold these scars There's something you should know, there's more to this story We'll never fade, and our arms will forever have these scars We'd pray to find our place, take flight to eastern skies And when the winds change, we'll be blown back to here Bitter and betrayed, broken, but never disbanded, we gave it our All, I was jaded then, and maybe I still am, but will push on Missing but mended, some hearts never break The things inside us all, found only to be stronger than before Well, I'll see you when the sun sets! Well, I'll see you when the sun sets! Well, I'll see you when the sun sets! Well, I'll see you when the sun sets!

Some still believe, but others like me see what's inside A scapegoat for reasons why, and wishes washed away At times like these, I guess best for us this way Upset and forgotten are your only prayers Knelt and barely breathing, your battered heart has kept you from screaming out loud Knelt and barely breathing, your battered heart has kept you from screaming And as much as we all want to just blame you I know the truth, I know the answer And as much as we all want to just blame you I know the truth, I know the answer Your shattered plea never stood a chance Constantly cursing him and wondering what you did to deserve this today Reasons will never be the same to you Some still believe, but others like me see what's inside A scapegoat for reasons why, and wishes washed away At times like these, I guess is best for us this way But one thing I forgot to say Is "I'll live life knowing I can change today"

There are no sides to choose from, just things to hate And I for one hate myself today Bring me down! Oh! Don't listen to me if you're not ready Bravery means more than just fighting Shoot and kill, it's dead and gone now please just forget me Famous or infamous, I've made my mark and this is where I stand Shoot and kill, it's dead and gone now please just forget me Famous or infamous, I've made my mark and this is where I stand Go! I have heard bravery is a ghost town that's nice to visit Who wants to stick around and play the mayor with me? Today, cowardice comes so easily and my friend, failure comes naturally to me I've been knocked down before Time to get the fuck up! This is past the point of words, so grab your guns and follow me This is past the point of words, so grab your guns and follow me So grab your guns and follow me! So grab your guns and follow me! I've just wished everything was this easy I've just wished everything was like this!

Desert dry and tired, sleeping underneath the stars Longing for, but still laughing the whole time That piece that makes you "home" That piece that makes you "home" Spiral downward Mesmerized the way down Destiny sure had a plan for me It's nothing new for some of you, a siren's song to get you through All the while, never knowing "it could be worse" I just wish we didn't have to sing this song first Destiny sure had a plan for me It's nothing new for some of you, a siren's song to get you through So once again I'll yell some sad, sorry, and not so sympathetic story, a long list of letdowns and loves lost I'll only let it ruin today

Pages past and pointed to Lost along the way, never knowing infinity And only one thing is certain Tragedy, tragedy, tragedy The swell and storm, tides rise and wash away remembrance Syphon through the sand, force felt through time, radiate, radiate Shine on, shine on, from the inside out Shine on, shine on, don't ever dim Settle down and waste away Deafened, muted, and blind Lived your life, done and died Erased, vanished, goodbye Lines frozen in time, suspended in one place Bound, and held together, forever, another legend lives on The chance, it came and it went, to start a spark My will can never be broken, I'll still shine on Lines frozen in time, suspended in one place Bound, and held together, forever, another legend lives on This song I leave for you from me Another legend lives on This song I leave for you from me Another legend lives on

Brave the winter weather's storm, as you trudge toward your perpetual ending Shout and shiver, along side the "too far gones" and the "never weres" Fighting the war within has never felt so good Clawing and kicking for anything Fighting the war within has never felt this sweet Reaching and grabbing for anyone I can be the one to lead a revolution I can be the one to lead a revolution Like pigs to the slaughter you drop dead In a pool of your own filth Like pigs to the slaughter you drop dead In a pool of your own filth Forever faithful to the idea that someday, sometime, you will have your kill Frustration sets in and down you go But it's a good thing that some dreams never die We can be the ones to lead a revolution We can be the ones to lead a revolution It's a good thing some dreams never die Dreams don't die Militia men march for the love of our sound Stamp sincerely to the heart in our song Militia men march for the love of our sound Stamp sincerely to the heart in our song (I will start a revolution!)

Tonight's my night Unlike any others I've never felt this alive So far away is death and decay, I won't age a day It's my time to shine I'll live for today knowing that tomorrow might never come But I'm content knowing I've made the most of the days, most just piss away Maybe someday I'll be something more Something bigger than this Maybe someday I'll be someone, someone important Tonight's our night, not like anyone else's, I've never been so proud So far ahead, are the things we dread, I'll live in this moment Nowhere but here No one but us Days will pass and nights will come, come and go I'm proud of all the things I've done All the things I've done Maybe someday I'll be something more Something bigger than this Maybe someday I'll be someone, someone Why won't the world just see that there is nothing wrong with me? Why can't the world just see that there is nothing wrong with us? Never stopping to see, what we all see Never striving to be, what we dream for ourselves

I've been thinking but nothing's coming to mind Hopefully, I get further than I did those times before Hours spent sustained is time spent in vain Hours spent sustained is time spent in vain The solace sent out, sometimes, more pacifying than words will ever be Distractions so far away from here Concentrated, but not complaining by any means Lost and out of mind, but still in my sights I've been thinking but nothings coming to mind Hopefully, I get further than I did those times before This is one part of me that I'll never be able to set free This is one part of me that I'll never be able to set free Set me free

Make haste and find the future We were outcasted so tragically (so tragically) Curse the tide, and shun the sun, who needs it anyway? Become a black sheep with me A black sheep with me I stayed up long nights, staring wide-eyed at the sea Throwing rocks and yelling but it made a man out of me Make haste and find the future We were outcasted so tragically Or curse the tide and shun the sun Become a black sheep with me Follow a flock inside to assemble and rally Or fight the flow, and light the fuse Fly the banner, blue and gold Fly the banner, blue and gold Conformity it seems all so wrong I always knew, that all along I'd find solace in things important to me I'd find solace in things important to me And that's the way I want it to be And that's the way I want it to be And that's the way I want it to be And that's the way I want it to be And that's the way I want it to be And that's the way I want it to be
