"A Toast To The Ghost" lyrics

Here's a toast to the nights that I
Drown my pain with the bottle beside me
Here's a toast to the nights that I
Lose my faith and the darkness finds me (Boo)

I was feeling just a little bit too holy lately
Had to cut these wings off 'cause they suffocating
I really can't stand the thought of losing another baby
But it still rots in this fucked up brain you gave me
I know my little brother lost a battle with addiction
Couldn't you just wait a little longer? Lock him up in prison?
Selfish, I know, but it's not the path that he chose
Overdosing on a drug created to be lethal

I wish I could rewrite the book, I wish it wasn't written
I wish you could give back my family
What you took and listen to the prayers I used to send
Back when I thought I was a Christian
Now I'm ghost, popping champagne in the kitchen

Here's a toast to the nights that I
Lose my faith and the darkness finds me
Here's a toast to the nights that I
Drown my pain with the bottle beside me, yeah
Here's a toast to the nights that I
Lose my way and the darkness guides me
Here's a toast to the night to the ghosts in my life (Night)

I'm not a big believer in this thing you call, "Religion"
'Cause if there really is a God, then why these children missing?
And how come all the people that I love passed from cancer?
I gave you three prayers that you still have yet to answer
So, 'til the day I lay six-feet down in my grave, I won't ever say, "Hi"
Never coming back again, I'm good at goodbyes
So, why don't we just call it quits? Open up that bottle
Let this New Year's toast commence?

I wish I could rewrite the book, I wish it wasn't written
I wish you could give back my family
What you took and listen to the prayers I used to send
Back when I thought I was a Christian
Now I'm ghost, popping champagne in the kitchen

Here's a toast to the nights that I
Lose my faith and the darkness finds me
Here's a toast to the nights that I
Drown my pain with the bottle beside me, yeah
Here's a toast to the nights that I
Lose my way and the darkness guides me
Here's a toast to the night to the ghosts in my life (Night)

Here's a toast to the nights that I
Lose my faith and the darkness finds me
Here's a toast to the nights that I
Drown my pain with the bottle beside me, yeah
Here's a toast to the nights that I
Lose my way and the darkness guides me
Here's a toast to the night to the ghosts in my life (Night)
