lyrics

Don’t Say Vandelay

As these ghosts haunt me and creep around my room
I find it comical to think they used to be like me
I am lonely and confused and
Desperate for something new

I am awaiting a chance to end it all, I am feeding at the idea of consuming my delusions.
I am drowning in my sorrows, I can’t grasp onto anything
Pull your mind from the depths of these waves!
All these times I lent out my hand and no one was there to reach for me!
Don’t take this for granted!
Then why can’t I swim? Why can’t I find the shore?
Then why can’t I swim? I am falling deeper!

I wish I were a ghost so I could live again
Maybe one day I can drift around their void like an equal
They're eating my insides and I don't hate it
they'll give me one more chance to be what I need to be

Why do you press for one last breathe? Please do not drown for this attempt
But I am exhausted; I need my escape to end this consciousness
If this is what it takes, close your eyes I will give you the means
Mark my words, I will see clearly once again so turn me away from the light.

I have let these waves overcome these lungs; sinking deeper I need to reverse
Maybe I could live again.

I wish I were a ghost so I could live again
Maybe one day I can drift around their void like an equal
They're eating my insides and I don't hate it
They’ll give me one more chance to be what I need to be
