Ghosttown

We've gone through the show
Of throwing pennies down a wishing well
Hoping to be natural
I'd rather you know
They make their promise with a secret's hush
Fuck it all up, my pleasure's cold to the touch

We caught in the slow
The slowest motions of a giving up
Tearing through the rations
I'd rather you know
They're only faking up until the dive
I hear their screams, they never make it alive

I wouldn't trade it for a broken fortress
I'd rather stay here in this ghosttown
And haunt to your behest

Just so you know

You know i'm palest when the sun is up
I know you know it by the light
Showing through my bitter eyes
Pasts of jealous compromise
If we can work on the day
And never promise always

I wouldn't trade it for a broken fortress
I'd rather stay here in this ghosttown
And haunt to your behest

Just so you know

You know i'm palest when the sun is up
Christened by the crystal light
Showing through your greenest eyes
Pasts of jealous compromise
I'd forget it if we can work on the right
And i can haunt through the night

I wouldn't trade it for a broken fortress
I'd rather stay here in this ghosttown
And haunt to your behest
