Giving up the Ghost
Some other species try to eat their young
Primal survival dripping down their tongue
Some kind of animal we choose to be
With a dark and sickened heart we try to kill the weak
I ask you brother do you know what hell is like
It's the fire underneath you and it's burning for all time
Like looking for someone to give all of your love
Just to find you don't have enough
Color floods your eyes
The deep unclouded skies
As if you swim the coast
A movie starts to pass
Your life in photographs
Those you love the most
Rock the cradle
Kiss an angel
Keep yourself composed
Forget you're breathing
Pretend you're sleeping
Giving up the ghost
Giving up the ghost
I felt a peace you can't imagine to be true
But it only stayed a moment, for it's only passing through
Were you to grab it, you would crush it in your hand
Wanna hold it to the end but you know you can't
I saw a garden that the earth has never seen
Where the river shines like crystal and the field's forever green
I thought I captured it in pixels on the screen
But of course, it was all a dream
All a dream
Color floods your eyes
The deep unclouded skies
As if you swim the coast
A movie starts to pass
Your life in photographs
Those you love the most
Rock the cradle
Kiss an angel
Keep yourself composed
Forget you're breathing
Pretend you're sleeping
Giving up the ghost
In a permanent pose
Giving up the ghost
Primal survival dripping down their tongue
Some kind of animal we choose to be
With a dark and sickened heart we try to kill the weak
I ask you brother do you know what hell is like
It's the fire underneath you and it's burning for all time
Like looking for someone to give all of your love
Just to find you don't have enough
Color floods your eyes
The deep unclouded skies
As if you swim the coast
A movie starts to pass
Your life in photographs
Those you love the most
Rock the cradle
Kiss an angel
Keep yourself composed
Forget you're breathing
Pretend you're sleeping
Giving up the ghost
Giving up the ghost
I felt a peace you can't imagine to be true
But it only stayed a moment, for it's only passing through
Were you to grab it, you would crush it in your hand
Wanna hold it to the end but you know you can't
I saw a garden that the earth has never seen
Where the river shines like crystal and the field's forever green
I thought I captured it in pixels on the screen
But of course, it was all a dream
All a dream
Color floods your eyes
The deep unclouded skies
As if you swim the coast
A movie starts to pass
Your life in photographs
Those you love the most
Rock the cradle
Kiss an angel
Keep yourself composed
Forget you're breathing
Pretend you're sleeping
Giving up the ghost
In a permanent pose
Giving up the ghost
