Ghost Town
03:53
|

My heart is a ghost town
spirits circling 'round
shadows playing hide and seek
lost before they're found
my heart is a ghost town
your love was a weapon
aimed at my soul
hidden under smiling lies
passion burning cold
your love was a weapon
burn down the memories
burn down the dreams
throw away everything
all that's left are broken wings
My heart is a ghost town
spirits circling 'round
shadows playing hide and seek
gone before they're found
my heart is a ghost town
this house is a graveyard
full of empty shells
overgrown with twisted words
ringing with haunted bells
this house is a graveyard
burn down the memories
burn down the dreams
throw away everything
all that's left are broken wings
My heart is a ghost town
My heart is a ghost town
My heart is a ghost town

As I Fall
04:03

As I fall out of my dream
and remember all I've just seen
I still feel your touch
hear the words that meant so much
as I fall, I fall, fall
As I drift in and out of sleep
fighting the urge to weep
I still hear your voice
wonder if I had a choice
as I drift, I drift, drift
I don't know why
after all this time you still move me
my soul yearns
my heart still burns for you
I long for the pressure of your hands
and your eyes making quiet demands
but I can't control
your heart or my soul
so I long, I long, I long
I don't know why
after all this time you still move me
my soul yearns
my heart still burns for you
So I fall for you once again
though our journey can never begin
life still goes on
all I have is this song
as I fall, I fall, fall
and I fall, fall, fall

Gaslight

conditional
oppositional
your love was never free
so afraid
I tried to change
but I never could succeed
I told you things
I shared my dreams
I believed you were my friend
but you tortured my trust
turned my faith to dust
left behind a heart that would not mend
fact or fiction
truth or lie
you move through my life casting doubt
try to replay
memories decayed
doubting myself from the inside out
accusations
confrontations
stories made from the air
were you pitching a line
in my mind
to see what you'd find there?
when I called you out
you spread more doubt
denying what you'd said
left me feeling crazy
was my memory that hazy?
the remembered words just in my head?
fact or fiction
truth or lie
you move through my life casting doubt
lost my way
memories decayed
doubting myself from the inside out
your words confused
there was no escape
no control for me
deny, deny
but I still survived
a twisted love's parolee
fact or fiction
truth or lie
you move through my life casting doubt
love betrayed
memories decayed
doubting myself from the inside out
doubting myself from the inside out

The Bottle

the devil's in the bottle, lord
the devil's in my soul
the devil's in the bottle
and that bottle's getting old
yeah that bottle's getting old
I'm praying for salvation
praying to be saved
praying for salvation searching for
a better way
searching for a better way
I hope my angel's near
I hope she's flying by
hope my angel's near
'cause judgment day is nigh
judgment day is nigh
I'm vowing to hold steady
trying to be strong
vowing to hold steady
make right from all the wrong
make right from all this wrong
'cause the devil's in the bottle, lord
the devil's in my soul
the devil's in the bottle
and that bottle's getting old
yeah that bottle's getting old
gotta send those ghosts away
make them leave my house
send those ghosts away
I've got to break them out
gotta break them out
or I won't be here for long
I'm slipping off dry land
won't be here for long
those demons grabbed my hand yeah
the demons grabbed my hand
and the devil's in the bottle
the devil's in my soul
the devil's in the bottle and that
bottle's getting old
that bottle's getting old
