A Ghost of a Chance

Half past ten
Almost noon
I'm just inches from the center of the heart
In the city of the damned

Go ahead
Twist the knife
It's essential that the mark is clearly out
Justice served before lunch

I'm wearing the mask of a thousand poor souls
You left in the gutter to bleed

Here I am, I'll be damned
What's the risk of losing all?
Got a ghost of a chance, honestly
No matter how high I climb
I keep falling down again
Down into this madness
An ocean of sadness
It narrows my chance to succeed
A ghost of a chance, I believe

Settle down
Take the stand
And let's talk about the matters of the heart
It's all riding on this

Be my guest
Swear to God
Raise the bible in the name of what you are
Is that who you think you are?

I'm wearing the mask of a thousand poor souls
You left in the gutter to bleed

Here I am, I'll be damned
What's the risk of losing all?
Got a ghost of a chance, honestly
No matter how high I climb
I keep falling down again
Down into this madness
An ocean of sadness
It narrows my chance to succeed
A ghost of a chance, I believe

I hear their screams in my head sometimes
Now, where's my pillow?
Their ghosts are haunting me
Calling back, pleading me
Say I can't help you
It's just the same treat
You gave the others

I'm sorry, I'm not sorry
I was the shadow
You were in my way
I know better what you are
You're no better than me

Here I am, once again
Facing darkness naturally
Got a ghost of a chance, honestly
No matter how high I climb
I keep falling down again
Down into this madness
An ocean of sadness

It narrows my chance I believe, yeah, yeah
Got a ghost of a chance, honestly
No matter how high I climb
I keep falling down again
Down into this madness
An ocean of sadness
It narrows my chance to succeed
A ghost of a chance, I believe

Yeah, yeah, ahh
Ooh, ah-oh-oh-oh, ah-oh-oh-oh
Need you, dad
