THE GHOST INSIDE LYRICS

1. Provoke

There's snakes among us that I never bothered to find.
Starry eyed and tongue tied, blurting out and rambling.

"On and on and on"
Just hit repeat
"On and on and on"
One more time

There's snakes among us but who's to blame this time?
My own phoenix flight, or to ignite.
Crashed and burnt out, only to meet in the ashes.

A facade never meant to be, cuz it only makes sense to me.

Once again, I've burned and borrowed one and two,
turned black and blue.
Poisoned before but found the cure,
and been exhausted again.

"On and on and on"
Just hit repeat
"On and on and on"
One last time

"On and on and on"
Just hit repeat
"On and on and on"
And so on...

It's in my head, on my mind.
It's in my fucking head.

Like a disease, I can't shake. Repeat

2. Destined

Making the choice of being here or there,
is the hardest thing I've had to do.

Its not as clear and concise as one would think.
I'm following my hopes and dreams,
and doing what's right for me.

A line was drawn, my choice was made

Given the chance, I'll make you proud of me
Give me a chance, I promise to succeed

Its not as clear and concise as one would think.
I'm following my hopes and dreams,
and doing what's right for me.

A line was drawn and then my choice was made.

A line was drawn. My choice was made

3. Faith Or Forgiveness

Three years, and counting, a long time for any endeavors.
Just get us away from here

I have something you should know, that this will never end,
and our legs will forever hold these scars.
There's something you should know, there's more to this story,
we'll never fade, and our arms will forever have these scars.

Set a course, through sand and storm.
Never fearful, and always hopeful.

I have something you should know, that this will never end,
and our legs will forever hold these scars.
There's something you should know, there's more to this story,
we'll never fade, and our arms will forever have these scars.

We'd pray to find our place. Take flight to eastern skies,
and when the winds change, we'll be blown back to here.

Bitter and betrayed, broken but never disbanded, we gave it our all.
I was jaded then, and maybe I still am, but will push on.

Missing but mended, some hearts never break.
The things inside us all, found only to be stronger than before.

(I have something you should know) I'll see you when the sun sets...

4. Disintegrator

Some still believe, but others like me, see what's inside.
A scapegoat for reasons why, and wishes washed away.
At times like these, I guess best for us this way.

Upset and forgotten, are your only prayers

Knelt and barely breathing,
your battered heart has kept you from screaming out loud.

Knelt and barely breathing,
your battered heart has kept you from screaming...

And as much as we all, want to just blame you,
I know the truth. I know the answer.

And as much as we all, want to just blame you,
I know the truth. I know the answer.

Your shattered plea never stood a chance.
Constantly cursing him and wondering what you did to deserve this today.

Reasons will never be the same to you.

Some still believe, but others like me, see what's inside.
A scapegoat for reasons why, and wishes washed away.
At times like these, I guess best for us this way.

But one thing I forgot to say is,
"I'll live life knowing I can change today"

5. The Brave

There are no sides to choose from, just things to hate.
And I for one, hate myself today

Bring me down.

Don't listen to me, if you're not ready
cuz bravery means more to me than just fighting

Shoot and kill, its dead and gone.
Now please just forget me.
Famous or, infamous
I've made my mark and this is where I stand.

I have heard bravery is a ghost town that's nice to visit.
Who wants to stick around and play the mayor with me?

Today cowardice comes so easily.
And failure comes naturally to me.
I've been knocked down before.
Time to get the fuck up!

This is past the point of words,
so grab your guns and follow me...

6. Siren Song

Desert dry and tired, sleeping underneath the stars.
Longing for, but still laughing the whole time,
that piece that makes you "home."

Spiral downward. Mesmerized the way down

Destiny sure had a plan for me.
It's nothing new for some of you,
a siren's song to get you through.

All the while, never knowing "it could be worse."
I just wish we didn't have to sing this song first.

Destiny sure had a plan for me.
It's nothing new for some of you,
a siren's song to get you through.
So once again

I'll yell some sad, sorry,
and not so sympathetic story,
a long list of letdowns and loves lost.

I'll only let it ruin today..

7. Shiner

Pages past and pointed to,
lost along the way, never knowing infinity.
And only one thing is certain, tragedy.

The swell and storm, tides rise and wash away remembrance.
Syphon through the sand, force felt through time. Radiate.

Shine on, Shine on, from the inside out.
Shine on, Shine on, don't ever dim.

Settle down and waste away. Deafened. Muted. And Blind.
Lived your life, done and died. Erased. Vanished. Goodbye.

Lines frozen in time, suspended in one place.
Bound, and held together. Forever. Another legend lives on...

The chance came and went, to start a spark.
My will can never be broken. I'll still shine on.

Lines frozen in time, suspended in one place.
Bound, and held together. Forever. Another legend lives on...

This song I leave for you, from me

8. Revolutionary (Bang The Drum)

Brave the winter weather's storm,
as you trudge toward, your perpetual ending.
Shout and shiver, along side
the "too far gones" and the "never weres."

Fighting the war within has never felt so good.
Clawing and kicking for anything.
Fighting the war within has never felt this sweet.
Reaching and grabbing for anyone.

I can be the one to lead a revolution.

Like pigs to the slaughter, you drop dead,
in a pool of your own filth.

Forever faithful to the idea that someday,
sometime, you will have your kill.
Frustration sets in and down you go.
But it's a good thing that some dreams never die.

We can be the ones to lead a revolution.
It's a good thing some dreams never die.
Dreams don't die.

Militia men march for the love of our sound.
Stamp sincerely to the heart in our song.

(I will start a revolution!)

9. Inherent Youth

Tonight's my night. Unlike any others.
I've never felt this alive.
So far away is death and decay,
I won't age a day, it's my time to shine

I'll live for today knowing that tomorrow might never come.
But I'm content knowing I've made the most of the days, most just piss away.

Maybe someday I'll be something more.
Something bigger than this.
Maybe someday I'll be someone, someone important

Tonight's our night, not like anyone else's, I've never been so proud.
So far ahead, are the things we dread, I'll live in this moment.
Nowhere but here. No one but us.

Days will pass and nights will come and go,
I'm proud of all the things I've done.

Maybe someday I'll be something more.
Something bigger than this.
Maybe someday I'll be someone, someone important

Why won't the world just see that there is nothing wrong with me?
Why can't the world just see that there is

nothing wrong with us?

Never stopping to see, what we all see.
Never striving to be, what all we dream for ourselves

10. Smoke And Signal Fires

[Instrumental]

11. The Lion War

I've been thinking but nothing's coming to mind.
Hopefully, I get further than I did those times before.

Hours spent sustained, is time spent in vain.

The sonnace sent out, sometimes,
more pacifying than words will ever be.

Distractions so far away from here.
Concentrated, but not complaining by any means.
Lost and out of mind, but still in my sights.

I've been thinking but nothings coming to mind.
Hopefully, I get further than I did those times before.

This is one part of me that I'll never be able to set free.
Set me free

12. Blue And Gold

Make haste and find the future.
We were outcasted so tragically.
Curse the tide, and shun the sun,
who needs it anyway?
Become a black sheep with me.

I stayed up long nights, staring wide-eyed at the sea.
Throwing rocks and yelling but it made a man out of me.

Make haste and find the future.
We were outcasted so tragically.
Or curse the tide and shun the sun.
Become a black sheep with me.

Follow a flock inside to assemble, and rally.
Or fight the flow, and light the fuse...

Fly the banner, blue and gold

Conformity it seems all so wrong
cuz I always knew, that all along,
I'd find solace in things important to me.

And that's the way I want it to be...
