Ghosts Along The Way

It's criminal, the things they've done to you
They've made you small
Made you wrong
It's terrible, what's hanging over you
By a thread
Just like they said
But it's so much better now that you're here,
We can begin
Somewhere behind the moonlight
You'll walk the road
Say hello, to the ghosts along the way
This bleeding heart of yours is cumbersome
It makes a fucking mess
There's lightning at your fingertips,
But somehow you have squandered every spark
And then it was dark
But it's so much better now that you're here,
We can begin
Somewhere behind the moonlight
You'll walk the road
Say hello, to the ghosts along the way
Cuz it's not that unusual,
You just have to have the kind of mind to see
Say hello for me
When you get there, to the ghosts
The ghosts along the way
But it's so much better now that you're here,
We can begin
Somewhere behind the moonlight
You'll walk the road
Say hello, to the ghosts along the way
Somewhere behind the moonlight,
You'll walk alone
Say hello,
Say hello,
To the ghosts along the way

Bored with all the things I love to do,
but oh, the things that I could do,
With just a little follow through,
I dream of going somewhere new
But it'd just be the same there, too
Sometimes, what's buggin' you is you
The girl with the rabbit ears, as white as freshly fallen snow
Sometimes she tells me things that I don't want to know,
The boy with a thousand fears, oh no
She's everywhere I go
Wish I wasn't tired all the time,
Excuses and little white lies
Just want to stay home and get high
Hard to explain the reason why
The smell of summer makes me cry
Guess it reminds me of hard times
Must be the girl with the rabbit ears, as white as freshly fallen snow
Sometimes she tells me things that I don't want to know,
The boy with a thousand fears, oh no
She's everywhere I go
Constantly distracted, trying to
maintain normal social interaction,
man it really takes its' toll
People think I'm rude, they think I'm lazy,
think I've got an attitude or that I'm crazy
So yeah, I'd rather be alone
I'd rather be alone
I'd rather be alone
I'd rather be alone
With the girl with the rabbit ears, as white as freshly fallen snow
Sometimes she tells me things that I don't want to know,
The boy with a housane fears, oh no
She's everywhere I go

Me And You
03:11

It's been a while, my friend, I'll bet you thought you'd seen
The last of me,
The last of me
I've changed a lot since then, I wonder if you still
Remember me?
Cuz I remember you
Like it was only yesterday
Just have a seat my friend, make yourself comfortable,
Cuz me and you
Have some catching up to do
We've got some time to kill, let's have a little chat
Just me and you
Just me and you
You made me swear to never tell, and that's exactly what I'll do
And boy, neither will you
Won't be enough left of you to
Just sit right there, my friend, make yourself comfortable
Cuz me and you
Have some shit we gotta do
I would have been somebody else if not for what
You did to me
To be quite honest, I've embraced the monster
I turned out to be
If we could do it all again, maybe it'd
Turn out differently
But here we are, just me and you, and there's
Nowhere I'd rather be
And soon we'll both be free
You in a different way than me
Well, here we are, my friend the end of the line,
Just me and you
No one to save you
Just me and you

No Good To Me
04:50
|

Just take a deep breath
Count to yourself in your head
All the things you got left, all the things you would lose
If you were dead
1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Probably be found by my wife
What would that do to her, and to my family I’m sure,
To see I’d taken my life
I am no good to me sometimes
Every now and then
I get a little down
I am no good to me sometimes
But every now and then
I’m good enough
6, 7, 8
Mama’s not doing too great
After all that she gave,
If I wound up in a grave,
Her pearly gates would await
9, 10, 11, 12
It’d be escape from this hell
I told them all I was fine, And I don’t know if I’m lying,
I don’t know if I’m lying
13, 14, 15
What the fuck’s wrong with me
My life is goddamn bliss, why am I thinking about this
I am already free
I am no good to me sometimes
Every now and then
I get a little down
I am no good to me sometimes
But every now and then
I’m good enough
18 19, 20
I haven’t got enough money
I barely make enough to afford all this stuff,
Or maybe I’ve got plenty

Milk Of The Lemon
02:50

Pick apart the faces that we wear,
Who are you today?
Try to be the way you said I should,
Who are you to say, who am I to fade away?
It goes down bitter like milk of the lemon
I got both my eyes on heaven and I’m ready to go
It’s a cruel, cruel world and I’m hoping there’s pleasure
To be had
somewhere below
Somewhere below
Sometimes I can hear my devil sing
Haunting melodies, sometimes they comfort me
I want to be enchanted by the glorious cacophony
Be what I am
Just want to be
Some kind of free
It goes down bitter like milk of the lemon
I got both my eyes on heaven and I’m ready to go
It’s a cruel, cruel world and I’m hoping there’s pleasure
To be had
somewhere below
It’s a cruel, cruel world and I’m hoping there’s pleasure
To be had
Somewhere below
Somewhere below
You said you’d love me for a photograph of sound
And I ate it up
Right off the ground
It goes down bitter like milk of the lemon
I got both my eyes on heaven and I’m ready to go
It’s a cruel, cruel world and I’m hoping there’s pleasure
To be had
somewhere below
Sometimes it goes down bitter like milk of the lemon
I got both my eyes on heaven and I’m raring to go
It’s a cruel, cruel world and I’m hoping there’s pleasure
To be had
Somewhere below
I’m a bad, bad man and I’m
Going somewhere I can be well
And all of them
Can go to hell

Places to Be
03:08

Been a hard life, bitin’ teeth
But it’s better than the shit that they’da done to me,
Trust me
I’ve seen
Hard times scratchin’ at my frontal lobe,
Got a pistol and a bullet and a little bit of hope,
We’ll see
Won’t we?
But at least I’m still alive to see
I still got places to be
Ten little ghosts, lined up in a row
If you didn’t think to look, then you never woulda even
Known
Oh no
Never was a fan of the long-way-round,
And you don’t gotta explain it, cuz I know how bad it sounds
I’m goin round and round and round
And I am still alive to see
I still got places to be
And I’m still waiting to believe
In all the things you see in me
When the devil came calling, I didn’t go
Cuz if I didn’t think to look, I woulda never known
And I am still alive to see
The places I still gotta be
And someday, maybe I will be
The things you say you see in me
