The sun is shining The leaves are green And I thank you for All that you have been In the midnight stars Or ocean blues I see you in Sunset hues And when the dawn Comes for the day I thank you for What's gone away And what has risen In its place I'm home again In open space
Do you really want to know what lies in Ghost City It’s all victimhood and self pity As the doors all swing shut And I’m obsessed with the land my heart abuts Because it’s never right now, it’s always tomorrow And I make a living out of sorrow As I trek to nowhereland Do you know life’s made of sand And the hourglass holds your hand As it quietly evaporates You can journey through many states But the most valuable just might be The ones that require integrity To get through intact Is it a sin I don’t want you back And forgiveness flows through my veins But I’ve spent years in imaginary chains Thinking of what you did to me Constructing some kind of history That makes sense of the haunting tone When I’m in my room all alone But it’s always been with me As I grapple with intensity And let people believe the lie That death is when people cry
