Give Up The Ghost
(album: We´re Down ´Til We´re Underground)

Let me say that I know when I should be confessing
I´m counting everything- my change and blessings
Chemists cursed me imbalanced
I ran through the streets until my legs gave in
"Hey, even without light I could see that we were failures"
And I am coming clean of dreams that don´t exist
Oh God, it´s in the air when it should be
Safe between our hands
"And love, even without light I could see that we would fail"
Let me say what I mean
Let me sleep on your floor
Let me learn to love
Cause I can feel my face sinking
through bruised bones, barely hiding my mind
Failure fascination - I got a count on all I´ll never have
And I am dying to not give up on this

(And I confess, my fixation is my fix)
And I´ve been running around trying to find my home
Twenty years on the run trying to find my own
(And I confess, a house is not a home)
My head is red- my bones black and blue
Fever burns- choke on words at the thought of you
(And I confess, fixation is my fix)

Sing a song for the disenchanted
Hum a hymn for the misdirected
A little love for the sons and daughters
shadow-sitting life in forgotten corners
(and then)
I fell hard over myself again
I confess my love for everything
I woke up and needed to sleep again
With the music bleeding in my veins
Goddamn the yesterdays
With the love of all there is to love
We´re who you´re dreaming of
With the music bleeding in my veins
Goddamn the yesterdays
With the love of all there is to love
You´re the one who we´re dreaming of
I confess...
