did you live there?
did i misremember?
is there a closer time
water on the windowsill
i am running through the long hallway of my
old school
can't go back
to change the past
i've got memories
hallways and windowsills
there is no other time
no other light in my life
a moment stretched
out to a million lifetimes
take me back
or fade to black
and i'll be there by winter

after this is gone
wasted in the dark
wish i could be there
see patterns everwhere
say that you don't know
call me on the phone
no one lives or dies
it's all in our minds
visions in your room
strange moons circle through
having dreams again
i see past the end
life could be so smooth
i stick onto you
nothing ever ends
nothing ever ends
three days in the guest house
i was living in cloud city
by the highways
and i cut through all the neighborhoods
to make it to the tunnel all lit up
and the shoreline and the fog
it is ending, it is ending
like it always has before

don't go playing with my mind
is it such a crime
to be wrong
right where i belong
stick me in your arm
you'll be fine
don't go falling out of line
help me through the spiral
moonlight fills you and the room
and you know that i'll be there soon
help me through
don't go forfeit all your ties
spoken like the ghost in these lines
reading what you wrote
feel like there's no hope
i need you
spiral ghost

sentimental
matter of fact
oh i don't wanna die here
i don't wanna die just yet
never call
never speak at all
no i don't even try it
i don't leave the house too much
she sank them into me
like canine's teeth
oh i was born a liar
i was born on halloween
neon streams
on slot machines
tell me what's the price
of a broken dream?

i was here before
02:52
|
|||
i've been waiting for a long time
for an answer from above
i can't seem to speak the language of
whoever is making all this up
if you think this world is bad
you should see some of the other ones
because i've been here before
i don't think i'll ever leave for good
forever blood
and when all this is done
i'll turn into a flowerbud
rise out of the ground
and rain down from a thundercloud
i'll be everything at once
