"Ghost" lyrics

Imagine every waking minute
Comes closing in around you
As you watch those draining seconds
Fall hopelessly to the ground

This is the anthem of a lost generation

The more things seem to change
The more they stay the same
My life is dwindling
A pattern, an empty routine

And when you see my face
No, you never seem to recognize the pain
Though I've tried to speak
Oh so selfishly
I've been silent for too long
And I'd cast it all aside
To never see the sunrise again
Let me wash away

May we die before we wake?
Like ghosts, could we hopelessly sleep in the rain?
I can't think straight
It's all in my head
So tell me that I'm to blame

What will it take
To let the earth surround me
And open at my feet?
We're miles away
From understanding what this world has left for me

Give me a reason to end it all

May we die before we wake?
Like ghosts, could we hopelessly sleep in the rain?
I can't think straight
It's all in my head
So tell me that I'm to blame

How I long to wash away
The sirens are helplessly calling my name
As the voices say, "it's all in your head"
So tell me that I'm to blame

Tell me that I am to blame
Tell me that I am to blame

Let me wash away

May we die before we wake?
Like ghosts, could we hopelessly sleep in the rain?
I can't think straight
It's all in my head
So tell me that I'm to blame

How I long to wash away
The sirens are helplessly calling my name
The voices say, "it's all in your head"
So tell me that I'm to blame

Imagine every waking minute
Comes closing in around you
As you watch those draining seconds
Fall hopelessly
