Hey Ghost

I made you up, I carried you home
I wouldn't let my fantasy roam
I couldn't let you go again
I remember last time when you ran
I'm on my soft side
Can you stay a bit?
I'm sure it's only for a while
I set you down and we played chess
And later I watched you undress
We slept together in my bed
There's always room inside my head
Can you stay?
I'm on my soft side
Can you stay a bit?
I'm sure it's only for a while
For a while

Mostly Grey

The more I try to concentrate
The more I feel like it's too late
To change my ways
I try to do the best I can
But every time I fail again
And quit for days
And summer's gone before I know
And here I am amid the snow
And still the same
And everyone is moving on
But my commitment's mostly gone
And so's my aim
The more I try to sleep at night
The more I lie awake 'till light
Is in my eyes
I close the curtains, that's OK
But they don't hide the world away
It's much too bright
And I still hear the neighbours talk
And floorboards squeak when someone walks
Around the scene
It oozes in just like the sea
And swirls around, engulfing me
In blue and green
Can you decide for me
Who I need to be?
I'm mostly grey inside
I don't know if I'm black or white
Can you decide for me
Who I need to be?
I'm mostly grey inside
I'm mostly grey inside

If you wanna see a rainbow
You can go ahead and find it on your own
The greatest things in life
Are those that stay around when you remain at home
You can call me if you want to
Become totally invested in someone
Emotional attachment
And ridiculous obsessions are more fun
I love it when we're so intwined
I don't know where I start and where you end
It's beautiful to be so close
That sometimes you can't tell if we're still friends
You can call me if you want to
Get inside of me to see if we will blend
If we stick together just enough
We won't know when it's getting out of hand

It seems like I'm alone
When everyone is gone
It seems like I'm alone
When everyone is gone
When everyone is gone away
There's always someone who will stay with me
Can you stay?

There couldn't be a word
That could make me feel less hurt
There couldn't be a sound
That could get me off the ground
See, there's nothing you can say
That could make me laugh today
I miss when I was cold
With no-one there to hold
I miss when I was ill
With too much time to kill
I miss when I was mad
Now there's nothing in my head
I get so much adrenaline
I keep turning my head
To see where it's all at
But I'm lost
I keep trying to see
But it's all around me
And I'm lost
Please give me peace
I am lost
I'm looking at the sun
It stares at everyone
It knows what's in your head
I make the sun feel bad
That's why it stays away
And doesn't shine my way
I keep trying to see
But all around me
Is a mist
Is a mist that won't go
And it's too late, I know
I have missed
I have missed, missed my shot
Missed the one shot I got
Now I'm here
If I can't see your face
You must tell me the place
I can hear
I can hear what you say
You must lead me away
To the right
To the right is a track
But it leads me right back
It's not right
So I turn to the left
It's the only thing left
I can do
I can do only this
But the consequence is
Overdue
I'm trying for you

Stay the Night

Outside the wind is blown away
And it means that I've got to stay
Stay the night
If I could I
Yeah, I would, I
Take a sailboat
Yeah, I would, but I

I am never getting up
I'm not going out
I may lose you there
I am never waking up
I'm not getting out
I may lose you there
You are safe with me right here
You are safe with me, my dear
You are safe with me right here
Can you tell me that I'm safe with you?
I am never growing up
I'm not leaving town
I may lose you there
You are safe with me right here
You are safe with me, my dear
You are safe with me right here
Can you tell me that I'm safe with you?
Met a boy
Told me that I grow too fast
Metaboy
Told me not to do my best
For him
He should know
Met a man
Told me nothing's like it seems
Metaman
Told me not to chase my dreams
For him
He should know
Every little thing that I make up makes me down
Every little thing that I make up makes me frown
Met a star
Told me that I don't have long
Metastar
Told me not to write this song
For him
He should know
Every little thing that I make up makes me down
Every little thing that I make up makes me frown
Every little thing that I make up
Every little thing that I make up makes me down
Every little thing that I make up makes me frown

The light is fading slowly
There goes another day
It didn't last forever
They never do that anyway
Now all my greatest moments
Are one more day ago
I'm not expecting new ones
To be happening tomorrow
I miss those old vacations
Out on a camping site
I'd wake up under canvas
And spend the day outside

Give Me Pills
03:04

My home
Seems so far away now
It's like some place unknown
'Cause outside
There's only black and grey now
The distances have grown
Give me pills that will worsen my state
So I'll know what is causing this
Pour the alcohol into my throat
'Till I know what a headache is
Can you tell me you hate me
So I'm not ashamed of the way I act?
You are
So close to me now
It's like you're in my head
And I don't want to know
What it is you see now
What stupid thoughts you've read
Give me pills that will worsen my state
So I'll know what is causing this
Pour the alcohol into my throat
'Till I know what a headache is
Can you tell me you hate me
So I'm not ashamed of the way I act?

You're not the way you were
I think that you still know
The way it used to go
But maybe it's a blur
You blew it all away
It didn't have to go
I think that you still know
It could've stayed that way
And I am still right here
I'm ready for your warmth
I'm ready for your arms
But you are nowhere near
You're drifting like a mist
You're hanging like a fog
I'm waiting like a dog
But do you still exist?
Have you gone up in smoke?
Have you become a ghost?
It's what I feared the most
It's what I feared the most
Have you erased it all?
It's like you're never here
I think you've disappeared
I think you've disappeared
Is it nice where you're at?
Is it like a long vacation?
Are you vacant?
Are you transparent?
Are you transcendent?
Are you ascending?
Are you arising?
Are you arousing?
Are you just dreaming?
Are you just dreaming?
Are you just dreaming?
Are you just dreaming?
Are you on the edge of reason?
Do you still know where you are?
Do you still know where to find me?
Can you find me?
Can you see or hear me?
Are you a ghost now?
Are you a ghost now?
Am I a ghost to you?
I cannot see you now
It's like you're never here
I think you've disappeared
I think you've disappeared
I never saw you leave
It's like you're never here
I think you've disappeared
I think you've disappeared

Nothing has changed
I am just me still
You cannot stay
And I know that I will
And that's what I want
The world to keep turning
But I know it can't
Unless it stops turning
Now everything's blue
Just like the first day
That I looked at you
But now it's the bad way
I'm breaking my heart
I hope I can mend it
I knew from the start
That I couldn't bend it
The more I try to concentrate
The more I feel like it's too late
To change my ways
To change my ways
