DECEPTION OF A GHOST LYRICS

1. Give In, Give Up

[Instrumental]

2. Life Right Now

Feel free to feel me
Cause I can't feel anything anymore
You wanna know about these past few years
And the bottom of the bottle
Ambulance or avalanche
Either way I end up dead
I had it all
I gave it up
It just left me wanting more

What else do you want from me
All that's left is for me to pick myself
Up off of the ground
And wipe the dirt from my shit-eating grin

So take want you want from me
So take what you want and leave
Because I'm strong
And you were wrong (you were wrong)
About the way I feel and how to heal

Go!

I'm walking tall and talking straight
I don't regret the things that I've done
Or the decisions that I've made
I know exactly where I come from

Proving it to myself
Not the whole fucking world
That I can fail my way to success
That I'm not just a son of a bitch

So take what want from me
Take what you want and leave
Because I'm strong and you were wrong
About how to feel and how to heal
You were wrong
About how to feel and how to heal

All that's left is for me to pick myself up off the ground
Wipe the dirt from my shit-eating grin
Cause I'm gonna
Prove it motherfucker

You're not shit to me
So feel free to feel me
There's nothing left you can do
There's nothing left for you to prove to me
You're not shit to me
So feel free to feel me
There's nothing left you can do
There's nothing left for you to prove to me

3. Sons Of Sunlight

And oh my god
We make the simplest shit
Seem so fucking hard
And honestly, brother
Why is your attitude so piss-fucking poor
It can't be all about us
All the fucking time
We've got to face the fact
That we aren't right all the time
So have a little faith and respect for us
We need each other to make this work

Feeling so good about
What we can accomplish
And we'll do our best
To pick you up, to lift you up

We are all the sons of sunlight
We are all gods without insight
Living breathing capable deities
Born of stars and raised as slaves

The stakes have been raised
Let's show them what we're meant for
We have nothing to teach
Because we have nothing to preach
(The stakes have been raised)

The stakes have been raised
Let's show them what we're meant for
We have nothing to teach
Because we have nothing to preach

Welcome to life right now
Welcome to love somehow
Welcome to life right now
Welcome to love somehow
Welcome to life right now
Welcome to love somehow

Welcome to life
Welcome to love
Welcome to life
Welcome to love some-fucking-how

4. American Terrorist

We are American fucking terrorists

It's nothing political
It's nothing personal
It's a way of life
It keeps us comfortable
To do what we want
And we'll say what we'll say (what we'll say)
We'll do what we'll do
Just to live free

Anything to keep the blood
Pumping in our favor
Living by no doctrine
The American dream?
More like American scheme
Fear is what's keeping you alive
The driving force that keeps you inside
Hiding from your shadow

Too afraid to step outside into the sunlight
And scare the shit out of yourself
For the small chance you might learn something
Or the big chance you'll feel something inside

So come on and open up (open up)
I know it's hard not to give a fuck
It's hard to let go, it's hard to do what you want
You can't spend the rest of your life living in hesitation

So do what you want
There are no powers that be
There is no American dream
There's just a dream (a dream)
There's just a dream (a dream)
We are American terrorists
We live free, we'll die free

Oh shit!

Fear is not our motivation
It's not in our vocabulary
So learn something
Keep yourself on the edge of your seat
We've never been terrified
By an all-seeing eye
Look upon us and wonder
And wonder what you could be

Right now if fear and sabotage
Weren't part of your life
We'll do what we want
And we'll say what we'll say

(We'll say) We are American fucking terrorists
We are the American fucking dream

5. The Perpetual

That's just how it is
Everyday the never-ending push and pull
The constant cycle of eat-sleep-repeat
The perpetual

Grinding of teeth and gears
We barely fit the mold
Our shells are chipped and dented
We look weathered and we feel worse

The spark feels like it's almost gone
We aren't setting a fire in anyone's heart tonight

So don't count on us
But don't count us out
We will see what we're made of
When the dust settles to the ground

Skin like concrete (skin like concrete)
Fingers worked to the bone
Without a challenge there can't be true motivation

Then suddenly in the dark
A small ember, a small spark
The swelling of our hearts
A rush of blood and oxygen
Ignite the fire
A feeling of rebirth
Ignite the fire
This forgotten feeling

Will we let this fire burn out of control?
Will we nurture these embers, keep the fire burning inside?

And allow new thoughts, new hopes, new dreams to flourish
In this all but forgotten fucking body

We are the creatures of habit
Do we have what it take to inspire and ascend?
We are the creatures of habit
Do we have what it take to inspire and ascend?

These tired hands
This shaky soul (shaky soul)
The weak neck that holds our burden minds

It's so easy to seem broken
The bad bones, the broken hearts
Without a challenge there can't be motivation
Without a spark, a lonely ember
We will fail, we will break
Stuck in the cold alone

6. If Hearts Could Talk

Is it even possible to get over this?
How am I supposed to feel?
Does it get easier?

Will I ever find it again?
Could I have been better?
Did I treat you bad?
Where did I go wrong?
Is there someone else?
Were you satisfied?
What can I do to make you come back?

If hearts could talk
If hearts could talk

I laid my heart out on line
You said you'd be there till the end of time
Never thought you'd be so fucking cold
It's my mistake
I took your words and wrapped them around my brittle soul (wrapped around)
What happened to your promises?

My heart feels nauseous and stuck in my throat
I can't seem to focus on the right emotions
I will suffer quietly with a smile on my face
So I don't make you uncomfortable

I laid my heart out on line
You said you'd be there till the end of time
Never thought you'd be so fucking cold
It's my mistake
I took your words and wrapped them around my brittle soul (wrapped around)
What happened to your promises?

All these unanswered questions
I swear to god I'd rather be dead
I'll do my best not to revert to a child-like state

I want to be irrational
I'm tired of being logical
Every sensory feeling
Is going through my heart first

I can't get it off my chest
When it's dying inside of it
I can't get it off my chest

Do you even care that I'm lost
That I have nowhere to go
That I want to crawl inside you
So I make sense of why this is happening
I want to crawl inside you
So I can make sense of how you happened

I can't get it off my chest
When it's dying inside of it

My heart is willing to claw its way through bone and sinew
Just to reach the air
Just so it could see you

It'll claw its way through
Just so it could beat you
So it could beat you in your face

If hearts could talk

I laid my heart out on line
You said you'd be there till the end of time
Never thought you'd be so fucking cold
It's my mistake
I took your words and wrapped them around my brittle soul (wrapped around)
What happened to, what happened to
What happened to your promises?

If hearts could talk
If hearts could talk

7. Indulge, Devour

How much longer
Can we hold this down
These thoughts that form inside
We hide from our mouths

Our stomachs are empty
With no more food for thought
We starve for something original
And we hunger for knowledge
The guilt is eating away at us
Like a greedy tapeworm
All these scared faces and guilty hearts

Afraid of being afraid
It's haunted us
Since the creation of birth
We need a nudge
To start the free fucking fall
To start the free fucking fall

We aren't asking for a miracle
Just an educated stab
In the fucking dark

Go!

Something to kickstart
A new age of reasoning

Something to be proud of
Something original
Something to fill our minds with thought
And keep our stomachs full of satisfaction

8. Man Alive!

Goddammit man
Why are you so fucking serious?
Ride the lightning
Just feel the flow

Just sit back relax and let go
We've all got somewhere to be
And something to see
But the faster that you go
The more you'll miss
It's the little things that make the big picture
It's the little things that make life better

Hey man, where the fuck are you going to go?
And hey man, just let it come to you
Hey man, where the fuck are you going to go?
And hey man, just let it come to you

Just take your time and breathe
Just take your time, take your time
Take your time and feel the vibe
Just take your time and breathe
Just take your time and
Take your time and feel the vibe
Cause it's time to fucking chill
It's time to chill

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Goddammit man, why are you serious?
Goddammit man, why are you serious?
Don't you want to feel the flow
Don't you want to lose control
Don't you want to feel like a man

It's really hard to fuck up this good time
And these could be the best times of your life
So take a break and catch your breath
It's safe to say that you're scared to death
And this could be the first time
You've done something for yourself

So what's the point in keeping your nose clean (nose clean)
If it has never been in the dirt
Trouble rarely kills you
But you've got time to kill (got time to kill)
Trouble rarely kills you
But you've got time to kill (to kill)

What's the point in keeping your nose clean
If it's never been in the dirt
You've never been in the dirt

So take a break and catch your breath
It's safe to say you're scared to death

I've got this funny feeling
That you don't take me seriously
Don't make this complicated
You'll end up pissed and jaded

Goddammit man, why are you serious?
Goddammit man, why are you serious?

9. Source Flow

Everything has a rhyme
Everything has a reason

A constant source flow
It has an energy
That points you in the right direction
The writing's on the wall

The mind's eye has a filter
An ability to funnel out the bullshit
A natural way to keep you feeling fucking right
A natural way for you to feel the other side

Breathe deep now (breathe deep now)
Come on and work it all out now
Focus on the right path, feel the energy
Focus on being alive
Focus on feeling the energy

Hey, hey
Feel the worlds merging
Everything is living
Everything is dying to be alive
You don't have to struggle
If you follow the river's flow
You don't have to struggle
If you learn to just let go

Now be quiet, and be still
Let the hair on your neck stand to attention
Something is speaking to you (to you)
Something is urging you to be alive
Something is speaking to you (to you)
Something is keeping you alive

Everything has a rhyme
Everything has a reason

Everything works together
So we can keep it together
Must keep on feeling
Must keep on flowing
Embrace this unseen energy
Find the fucking source
And be excellent to one another

10. Anonymous

Dear sirs and madams,
You know what?
I've been thinking about this all night
And my most sincere interpretation
Would be presented as such

Why are you always fucking with me?
Is it really necessary for me
To do this much mundane bullshit, just for you?
It's like this slave-driven mentality
Where taking away from others' livelihood
Which in return is an exchange of energy (of energy)

Where the draining of one leads to the false sense of fulfillment
Which is the main downfall in the western ideologue

Why are you draining me?
Why are you draining us?

Do you really think that you're better than me?
You're compromising your own self
For the false god of money (of money)
Which leads to false identification (false identification)
You're compromising your own self
For the false god of money (of money)
Which leads to false identification

Which can be seen in every form from
Politics, religion, corporations
All these institutions, and organizations
With the perceived sense of false power

You push down the heads of the ones that are under you
So you can seek and reach a higher position with no concern

You push down the heads of the ones that are under you
With no concern for the real well-being of your fellow peers
I beg, I plead (I beg, I plead), I implore you (I implore you)
To let this way of thinking
Leave your almost soulless bodies
(Leave your almost soulless bodies)
You push down the heads of the ones (and I beg, and I plead)
That are under you (and I implore you)
So you can seek and reach a higher position with no concern
For the real well-being (and I beg, and I plead)
Of your fellow peers (and I implore you)
I beg, I plead, I implore you
For all our sakes

Do you really think
That you're better than me?
You're compromising your own self
For the false god of money
Do you really think that you're better than me?
You're compromising your own self
