This is the opening track in the band’s self-titled debut album, featuring a mix of heavy guitars and electronics, a combination that would come to characterize their sound.
The song features a sort of inner dialogue between a variety of emotions, perhaps from coming out of a relationship or dealin...
[Intro: Michael Bohn]
Standing in front of this bed
With some matches, watch it burn
I pray my body burns, too
[Refrain: Tyler Carter]
Why do (Why do)
I do-do-do the things I do? (Things I do?)
And they blind you (Blind you)
Yet you are the only one who can see what I've done
[Verse 1: Michael Bohn]
Laying here doesn't feel the same
I need to get up and make a change
Get up and get over this
My voice it echoes, my thoughts collide
You said I'm dead to you, I bled for you
Now your dreams can come true
There's a place in my bed where you rested your head
Now I'm resting alone in this bed and it's cold
I feel like a ghost, these memories go up in smoke
You didn't want serious and it made me delirious
2:40 AM all I wrote was
[Refrain: Tyler Carter]
Why do (Why do)
I do-do-do the things I do? (Things I do?)
And they blind you (Blind you)
Yet you are the only one who can see what I've done
[Chorus: Tyler Carter]
Guess I'll never know what I meant to you
This year's been lonely, but at least it's through
I'll write a letter to my former self
Dear Sad Ghost, why'd you put your heart on the shelf?
[Verse 2: Michael Bohn; Tyler Carter]
You took the fun out of living
When you took the life out of me
Take a look into the mirror
But you don't see yourself inside
Watch it crack, oh
Your bad luck started with me
My good luck ended with you
[Bridge: Michael Bohn]
I know you're drunk again (I know you're drunk again)
And not thinking clear (And not thinking clear)
But when you write this down
At least try and sound a bit more sincere
[Chorus: Tyler Carter]
Guess I'll never know what I meant to you
This year's been lonely, but at least it's through
I'll write a letter to my former self
Dear Sad Ghost, why'd you put your heart on the shelf?
