lyrics

Get away from this old town
No way in and no way out
Between nowhere
And my dreams are shared out in the wind
Whispers to oblivion
Old friends I hold you dear.

To the ghosts in my head
I’m your hostage
Long gone
Not forgotten

Don’t want to get away from you
Just as much a part of me
Taken the bitter
Take in the sweet

Memories worth more than gold
Mixed in with the lumps of coal
A sum of everyone
One Fleeting moment
To usher in the dawn
A toast to the ones both here and gone.
To live, to lose, to love.
My offerings are just an echo in the void

To the ghosts in my head
I’m your hostage
Long gone
Not forgotten

Don’t want to get away from you
Just as much a part of me
Taken the bitter
Take in the sweet

Get away from this old town
No way in and no way out
Between nowhere
And my dreams are shared out in the wind
Whispers to oblivion
Old friends I hold you dear.

To live, to lose, to love
One Fleeting moment
To usher in the dawn

A toast to the ones both here and gone.

Don’t want to get away from you
Just as much a part of me
Taken the bitter
Take in the sweet
Leave your fears and hopes behind.
Commit to the night

To the ghosts in my head
I’m your hostage
Long gone
Not forgotten
