"The Ghost Of Billy Royalton" lyrics

"The Ghost Of Billy Royalton"

I'm drowning in blue light
It's a new knife, in a three-legged pant
I have no qualities so don't talk to me
I'm in love with that plant
Now I could be too nice, I could do right
I could bust out a rant
I still hate the game, but I'll say the name
It's Dance Gavin Dance (Ha-ha!)
It's Dance Gavin Dance (Ha-ha!)
It's Dance Gavin Dance (Ha-ha!)

Putting all your faith in lies
I've been facing endless trials
Numbered all your days in kind
Days in kind

Try and stop me
Banking on the fragments of my shadow (Of my shadow)
Dropping off excuses on the way

Thank God I know the road back home
You're a battered thief in the night
At best you're a parasite (Oh-oh)
Thank God I know the road back home
(Everybody come 'cause the Lord got into me)
(Put me on the board of the soul shine company)
You're an outed spook with a knife
(Everybody poor 'til the heart start opening up)
Go on and wallow in your spite
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Let's clap for healing it and feeling it
Alleviate pain
I'm looking at the truth of it
The root of it
Stop dragging my wings
I fear I'm not enough or I'm too much
Keep scrubbing that stain
I'm responsible, it's possible
Let it process and drain

What about that Skywalker OG
JP3, Alan?
Put bass down, I'll write around it
That trust just comes with the talent
Some things you can't replace
Hurt yourself if you even try it
Keep going and you will survive it
DGD always stay united

When it comes and goes
We stay composed
And we don't ever wanna talk about it
When we're on the ropes
We blow out shows
And you can try and stop me

Banking on the fragments of my shadow (Of my shadow)
Dropping off excuses on the way

Thank God I know the road back home
You're a battered thief in the night
At best you're a parasite (Oh-oh)
Thank God I know the road back home
(Everybody come 'cause the Lord got into me)
(Put me on the board of the soul shine company)
You're an outed spook with a knife
(Everybody poor 'til the heart start opening up)
Go on and wallow in your spite
(Never am I bored since the Lord got into me)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

The pain never stops
And the world is unforgiving
But I still wish you were here
To watch it burn with me
I'll never forget our days in Tokyo, Japan
Those were the best times I ever had
And I'll carry on for however long
Walk the path that you taught me
Until I feel your embrace
I know I'll see you again
You're a part of me always
