casper 03:12
lyrics

Time to go and to end this chapter Start the next, let’s see what comes after What to expect, 'cause I’m a disaster Scare everyone away like I'm casper Could I fade into the night any faster 'Cause I’m here haunting myself, what’s the matter I just need something to chase after Scare everyone away like I’m casper You won’t see me next year, Yea I’m gonna disappear Vanish right before your eyes Before you even know I’m here Flying through the window Anywhere the wind blows Wherever it takes me I’ll go Running around through memory lane You know that I wouldn’t stay the same Moving at the speed of light I don’t know how I’m staying sane Go ahead pretend like I’m not there, 'cause I’m invisible I’d ignore me too though 'cause the sight of me is miserable Floating around, stuck underground I don't know what I'm waiting for I’m going down, leaving this town I don’t wanna be here anymore Apparitions from the past, they haunt me Following miles on end, and they won’t leave But all I am is a friendly ghost Scare everyone that I miss the most I know you can’t see me Just please believe me I’ve been shackled to the past When the good years seemed to last But that’s alright with me 'Cause I got nowhere else to be Take me home 'cause I'm too far gone I should’ve stayed there all along Some spirits will lead you to light And some will leave you lost in the night

golden days 03:48
lyrics
buy track
So I’ll wait here for the morning light 'Cause the golden days are almost out of sight If you’re thinking I’m naive then you’re right But it’s not the time to say good night I can’t remember the last time I felt awake And I couldn’t tell you why I’m always dreaming though my eyes are open, i can’t see what’s real or fake I’m stuck in my reflection, waiting for the mirrors to break So I wait, and I wait, I wait for something more But I’m scared, to go on, and to run right through that door And I’m wasting, my precious days and years, 'Cause in no time, none of this will be here None of you will be here with me 'Cause everybody’s got places to be We’ll all miss this, just wait and see Nostalgia’s a drug and it’s swallowing me Just give me a few more months Just give me a few more years So I can learn to live And finally face my fears I got a few more chances left To get all this off of my chest So I’ll wait here for the morning light 'Cause the golden days are almost out of sight I’ll reminisce about exactly where I am now And wonder why this place has turned into a ghost town See you all maybe soon, maybe never Let’s try to stay in touch, 'cause you know that’d be better I’ll call you sometime in September So we can look back on the times we were together

let it out 03:17
lyrics
buy track
Looking out the window For something to jolt my memory 'Cause I’m lost in my own thoughts again And I’ve run all out of energy Pacing and pacing, back and forth Try to go on, but I’m stuck behind the door All I am is just a kid, who never learned to deal with Much of anything So I wanna let it all, I wanna let it all out, but i can’t I can’t seem to open my eyes just yet So I wanna let it all, I wanna let it all go, but i can’t I can’t seem to step outside just yet I wish i could open up Not wait for a cover-up Let it all out, let it all go So i can finally let you know Too many things I’ve been hiding, there’s still some thoughts I’ve been finding That I should share with you, i better follow through It’s alright, maybe tomorrow or maybe next year Wasting all my time alone, that’s what I fear So my eyes are left dry from the tears that never fell And I'm left empty as i was, wishing i were something else I'm sorry if I'm not quite what you wanted, I'd be disappointed too But I still wouldn’t mind, wasting my time away with you I'm trying my best But is that good enough I’m not quite sure what you want Yet i’m not giving up

skylines 03:12
lyrics
buy track
Never-ending skylines And picturesque scenes Can they make me feel alive again Give me a reason to breathe City lights, and skyscrapers And the warm summer breeze Can they give me some direction Just give me somewhere to be I’ve seen the mountains, I’ve seen the tides Now tell me why I still wanna stay inside When there’s so much to see, so much to do I guess fear is what I’m used to Show me everything that hides within those lights A myriad of colours, but all I see is black and white Beautiful harmonies from every window in this town I’m sorry I can’t join them, 'cause I’m stuck underground Bright electric shades, in every streetlight Colourful but strange, they’re saying good night Why am I afraid, I should be alright Broken palisades, let in the moonlight The city never sleeps, but I need to I’m sick of counting sheep, what can I do Lost inside my dreams, but I’ll push through Crazy as it seems, I need you

all gone 02:45
lyrics
buy track
It’s all gone, all gone, all lost now Could’ve been better, don’t ask me, I don’t know how All gone, all gone, all done now Everything’s changed, but I’m still in the background All gone, all gone, all lost now Pretend that we’re okay, though we’re going southbound All gone, all gone, all done now Nothing’s the same, and I’m just another letdown Don’t really know what I’m doing Why everything so confusing Got tea in my cup, 2 PM and I’m up Still not giving a fuck, but I’m moving 3 miles an hour, but I’m still working to the top Writing nonstop, how long till my head is gonna drop Certain situations really testing my patience 'Cause they got me feelin' fucked and got me stuck in this basement I’m trying to do what I can, follow a plan, end all this frustration But I’m stuck in a rut, windows are shut, just wanted conversation Some things for me are looking up, some looking down I wanna run away from here, but I’ll stay in this town I got a lot of things to say, I’m finally singing out I got a lot of things to do, I’m finally working now Got a mixed bag of feelings, don’t know if I’m healing Stress is through the roof, but all my goals are through the ceiling Tryna find a meaning, don’t know if I’m breathing Spending every evening half asleep but barely dreaming Now everything’s not the way it used to be And all these thoughts just drain my energy (and i’m singing)

phantoms 02:41
lyrics
buy track
I might as well just be invisible Maybe I deserve it or maybe I’m too self-critical Empty as a shadow, but this for me is typical Passing through the wall, yeah I’m doing the unthinkable These ghosts are my friends, they don’t scare me They’re stuck inside my head, so you can’t see I promise I’m awake, but just barely There’s someone in the mirror, but it’s not me Phantoms floating through my window To my dreams, right through the pillow Spirits lost and spirits found In the sky and in the ground I’m just waiting for the sunrise There’s no time for wasting goodbyes Waste your time, you’ll pay the price What more could you sacrifice? Another one of these nights Another Friday night fright Gotta fight for my life Knife to a gunfight Screaming in my ear drum Throw another tantrum Chase another phantom Doesn’t he look handsome Wreck another mansion Hold another ransom Every house is haunted Nobody can stop it Maybe it’s my time like Start another life right Staring at a black light Fucking up my eyesight, yeah right

if only 03:10
lyrics
buy track
If only time stood still, forever I could stay here with you If only change was for the better It’s something I would put myself through It’s all downhill from here All of this will disappear And I’ll be left lost and alone Searching desperately for home I don’t wanna sit in silence Wish my memories were timeless I’m so fucking sick of trying 'Cause living in the past is tiring I just wanna see you next year, yeah Think it’s time to switch to first gear, yeah Waiting for a conversation Gotta be a bit more patient, yeah Why don’t we stay for a while I just wanna see you smile You mean so much more than you know So much more than I show The same thing again and again Just barely friends, close to the end, yeah I’m so sick of playing pretend, Go right ahead, ignore me instead, yeah You’ll never know, these songs are all about you It’s a shame, but it’s something that I’m used to If I say I don’t care, just know that shit’s not true I’ll remember to the end, till I fade into the blue

let's just stay in touch 03:40
lyrics
buy track
A few more weeks to go, then you know We have to leave this all behind All these things, and what they bring Just give them no mind Everyone you hold dear, that seems sincere Will slowly drift away Just try to keep your word Your promises of yesterday Why can't we just stay right here Where the skies are clear When I look ahead All I see are storms, I might have been mislead Why can't we just stay right here Where the skies are clear When I look ahead All I see is who I might have been Just gather your things and don't look back You gotta look ahead, you can't stay in the past And one of these days you'll come to find That those you love, they're out of mind People will come, and friends will go And in the end you'll have nothing to show Your life will go on and these feelings will pass So only the people who you love will last Let me just say something before you go Our paths won't meet again, this you know It's a small thing and it won't help too much But let's just say that we will stay in touch Let's just stay in touch Let's just stay in touch, yeah Let's just stay in touch Let's just stay in touch, yeah Let's just stay in touch Let's just stay in touch, yeah Let's just stay in touch Let's just stay in touch, yeah On and on it goes And nothing really changes so you know

reminder 03:28
lyrics
buy track
Everything reminds me of you No matter where i go or what i do You’re the reason I feel awake Like a warm breeze from the summer lake Your smile is what makes my day You make my problems seem so far away When I’m with you, I finally feel okay I see your eyes in the stars But why are they so far? I hear your voice in the rain But it’s just not the same Something is there, I don’t feel empty anymore You opened my eyes, you opened up the door Thank you for being you, from winter to the fall But I’m now realizing, I don’t deserve you at all I see your eyes in the stars But why are they so far? I hear your voice in the rain But it’s just not the same I see your smile in the sky And I keep on asking why Everything that I do It all reminds me of you

ghost stories 05:06
lyrics
buy track
This street has been empty for so long How many years have I been gone? And all of us will fade away But the memories we left, will always stay We are all phantoms, and we are all ghosts I see apparitions of spirits I seem to miss the most And what I call home Is everything, and everyone I’ve known 'Cause One day, we’ll fade away We’ll disappear, to infinity We’ll all go, to some place far away But I don’t know, exactly where we’ll stay Over and over again, I think about who we were then How much we’ve changed, and how much we’ve grown Who will we be in the end? So let’s drive down Lakeshore, the way that we used to The whole world to explore, so let’s find something brand new Setting sail on concrete rivers Let’s just pretend that we will live forever Take a trip up north for a couple of days Have a party every week, anything that you say Staying up till 4 in the morning This summer will never get boring Too bad the sun still sets I’m just trying to live with no regrets I’ll miss this all so fucking much I promise I will try my best to stay in touch I have no idea where we’ll be So let’s wait a couple years and we’ll see 'Cause one day, we’ll fade away We’ll disappear, to infinity We’ll all go, to some place far away But I don’t know, exactly where we’ll stay
