Here I am, surrounded by the ghosts
Of everyone I've known,
All I know is: you live a lie, then you die alone
There that's me - lurking in the shadows,
Moving way too slow
Obsessed with the shadows... they're hiding what they know
We talk of lovers lost,
And women won, and I convince myself it's fun,
We sing of human things and we denounce them all at once
So here I am, surrounded by the ghosts
Of everyone I've known,
All I know is: you live a lie, then you die alone
Understanding is helpful, but it's such a bore
It acts as a shelter, but does not do much more,
It does not do much more
It's lost its purpose, Just like the Berlin Wall,
Unity defeats the beast, and we're brothers once more,
We're brothers once more
Here I am, surrounded by the ghosts
Of everyone I've known,
All I know is: you live a lie, then you die alone
Are you there, God? I need you so much right now,
But I don't think you'll show,
I need you so desperately, but I don't think you'll show
Please, God, I'm standing here,
Surrounded by the ghosts of everyone I've known,
All I know is: you live a lie then you die alone
You live a lie
You live a lie
You live a lie
You live a lie
You live a lie
You live a lie...
And then you die alone

I've wrapped these thoughts around my head,
If I can't read, I might get dead,
Although it matters very little to me
I know you never meant me harm,
I certainly don't miss the farm,
I think I'd rather drown in a swamp
I wasn't well spoken, I wasn't well spoken,
Though I would've given anything to be
The waves that crash in the dead of the night,
Have a force that can hypnotize,
I think you found me going under when you called
We can't crack jokes to save our lives,
But you saved the joke I thought was mine,
Naked, and ready to hide from the light, and in darkness - die
No, I don't think I'll ever let slip,
That you and I hide from the world, and everything in it... when we touch

Kamikaze

She used to fit herself with collar and chain,
A statement that confirmed she was really insane,
She rarely touched down on the earth we know today
When you see her she's a blur,
Did it - to you, ever occur,
That you might fall in love with her?
She's of the skies and of the seas,
She's human being and make believe,
You won't believe the message you're about to receive
She hated outer body experiences,
She had nowhere else to go,
She'd been everywhere there was to be,
And she knew all there was to know,
She had a lot of drug paraphernalia,
Not for the high - but for the low,
And just when you ask if she'd like to stay,
She decides it's time to go
When you see her she's a blur,
Did it - to you, ever occur,
That you might fall in love with her?
She's of the skies and of the seas,
She's human being and make believe,
You won't believe the message you're about to receive
She's been to hell and she's been back,
But I think she's about to crack,
Oh no, Why'd you have to go and say that?
She belongs in outer space,
She's not part of the human race,
Oh no, not with that beautiful face

Queen Anne's Revenge

Can you see me - bathed in moonlight?
I can see you, though you're not as delicate as me
On the boardwalk in Port Royal,
I'm residing in the land of the free
Are you ready, baby?
Did you come prepared?
You can tell me the truth, baby,
Are you really scared?
Can you hear the thunder of the cannonballs ahead?
Look over yonder,
At the conqueror - the Queen Anne's Revenge
Can you see me - bathed in moonlight?
I can see you, though you're not as delicate as me,
(Oh no, sir, I'm just a deckhand - A humble servant,
The captain's still out there at sea)
On the boardwalk in Port Royal,
I'm residing in the land of the free,
(Can you see me - wading through the blood?
I can smell you, no you're not as powerful as me)
Are you ready, baby?
Did you come prepared?
You can tell me the truth, baby,
Are you really scared?
Can you hear the thunder of the cannonballs ahead?
Look over yonder,
At the conqueror - the Queen Anne's Revenge

Silence was my demise,
Tell me something I didn't know,
I knew dying was painful,
I just didn't think it would be this slow
Are you in pain?
Do you take it as lightly as you take me?
Did the one with the red use its funny fangs?
Tell a joke with its teeth?
Or did it squeeze tighter every breath you took?
Did you know it was the end?
That's toxic love, but that's another story for another day, my friend
Would you kiss me when you're sober?
Would you do it if I asked you?
Will I get that chance again?
You are a precious thing,
I'd buy you everything if I amounted to more than nothing
You see worthiness in things that I don't even think through,
If you like something, then I do too
Would you kiss me when you're sober?
Would you do it if I begged?
Will I ever get that chance again?
I think that I'd father your children,
If you had deemed me worthy,
I'd spend my whole life with you
But I don't think that you would kiss me sober,
I doubt you loved me then - but it felt good at the time
Would you kiss me when you're sober?
Would you do it if I asked you?
Will I get that chance again?
Would you kiss me when you're sober?
Would you do it if I asked you?
Will I get that chance again?
