1.
Young & hopeless on a misty night With darkness down our roads Dreams are the easiest thing to lose & I saw you The memory but then gone In a flash your body fell into the abyss & the highway lights, they took my last words But we're still chasing ghosts & they're always on the run Aimlessly we follow Into these misty graves You can search for them all you like But you'll never find them Lost in the clouds, like a child You'll never really understand what it is you saw But you're drawn to it You always come back Hoping it'll be there But what do you do when you finally catch up & then it's yours But we're still chasing ghosts & they're always on the run Aimlessly we follow Into these misty graves You surrender your mind To a lost moment in time You can search for them all you like But you'll never find them Pull your triggers now It's not gonna come to you Fight it all you want But the night belongs... & we're still chasing ghosts & they're always on the run Aimlessly we follow Into these misty graves You surrender your mind To a lost moment in time You can fight this all you want But tonight belongs to them

I don't wanna get out of bed Not in this morning I'll wait until I fall asleep forever My veins are filled with lead My minds full of nonsense But isn't that just normal now? Where's the logic in it? If there is no reason Is that how it works now? Guess I'm just complaining Connection with this ain't my strong suit Sorry for being a bother Winters touch is rough enough & safety nets only catch so much My shadow above the ground I won't make a sound There's really nothing to talk about I spend my time thinking It brings the ups & downs I hate you but I love you all the same I can say that it is done But you never left me Maybe you never will Winters touch is rough enough & safety nets only catch so much My shadow above the ground I won't make a sound There's really nothing to talk about

Still see your roads signs They say "do your standard part" Though I stopped listening a few miles back I never followed in your footsteps Maybe that was disappointing I'm so different from you & you never liked it Look whose on top I don't need you to be my hero I've done fine on my own Shining Star but a second rate sidekick Nothing but a fake I guess we knew it'd come to this Always been worlds apart & hated by your better half Believing all the stories that you told me You said you'd never let this happen Well look what happened Look what happened Now the seams come undone I don't need you to be my hero I've done fine on my own Shining Star but a second rate sidekick Nothing but a fake I don't need you now Believing all the stories you would tell me Said you'd never let this happen well... I don't need you to be my hero I've done fine on my own Shining Star but a second rate sidekick Nothing but a fake

When we were young everything seemed easy At least what I saw of it behind my tattered veil of naivety You may choose to fall But I won't let it take over me If I could pass away peacefully Erase the dark thoughts from my memory I still feel like I lost this one tonight So jaded all my friends lost their way in the dark & soon it could take me Every second counts & I miss them all I know what I would say if I got a second chance I'd help them pass away peacefully Erase the dark thoughts from your memory Be safe & strong don't let them take you Not tonight Sometimes we must give up what makes us feel so safe at night & it's holding us back We must move on We must be stronger without you. Help me pass away peacefully Erase the dark thoughts from my memory Be safe & strong don't let them take you Not tonight
