Play The Ghost

It feels good to play the ghost
Even for a little while
We miss some things more than most
I couldn't tell you why
No idea
I didn't know
How good I'd feel about you
The light we lose when we get lost
Is it ever coming back
The lives we learn when we get crossed
Things slip through the cracks
No idea
I didn't know
How good I'd feel about you
Put what's broken back in place
Sometimes it takes a little while
The happy hours that wear your face
I lose them in a smile
No idea
I didn't know
How good I'd feel about you

I Want To Be Here
02:49

Failure's just another place
That you can leave at any time
You don't need courage to be saved
It's quiet underneath the waves
Beneath the ocean of your mind
It's surviving which makes you brave
We don't need this but I want to be here
All my life for someone else at the wheel
The past is just another state
You can always make the time
Laws of half-life & decay
Torment answers to a name
Lights your self-pity like a sign
Invite them in but they can't stay
We don't need this but I want to be here
All my life for someone else at the wheel
We don't need this but I want to be here
Somehow you make the impossible easier
A near-miss at the circle again
I laugh like a fool
Lost in a thought of you again
I've never been cool
We don't need this but I want to be here
All my life for someone else at the wheel
We don't need this but I want to be here
Somehow you make the impossible easier

A name in lights in New Orleans
I don't know
What to tell myself it means
Should I go
Pale Horseman over Magazine
Try to hold
The helium that fills your dreams
Praying to be free
Burn the fog of Chartres St
Slip the crowd
A bolt that knocks you off your feet
Saints of doubt
Leave you in your bed awake
Put them out
Like a glass over a flame
A different face, a different name
Chance or a chase
Lonely & caged
I don't believe in destiny or signs
Choice for a change
Moth for a flame
I thought that maybe you could change my mind
I'm nowhere now
And it's easy to disappear
Help me see
Draw me close to you this year
Draw me close to you this year

The Old Are Vampiric

Been lonelier than cold
This year's been colder than most
A promise for a key
A key for every lock
A lock for every door that's closed
Lost another season
There was no place with my shape
I know that love can leave for a million reasons
But it leaves no time to waste
Let the future hold some magic for our eyes
Do you remember how it feels to be alive
Let the future hold some magic for our eyes
I've forgotten what it's like
The older are vampiric
Cloud of bats behind a cape
A lonesome sad guitar offers up a song in the hopes it will be saved
Let the future hold some magic for our eyes
Do you remember how it feels to be alive
Let the future hold some magic for our eyes
I've forgotten what it's like
I'm tired of living life
With my hands over my eyes
If I tell myself the truth
Maybe I'll tell it all the time
Let the future hold some magic for our eyes
Do you remember how it feels to be alive
Let the future hold some magic for our eyes
I've forgotten what it's like to be alive
