Harmonies for the Haunted

I'll stop the day
You'll rise again
Don't count the news man to signal the end
'Cause you can trust your farthest friends across the world

We'll take the car
You're in the room but your head's in the stars
You can run, but you can't hide who you are

He couldn't stay
Thanksgiving's gone
His growing children continue his song
He was young
Did nothing wrong

I tried to say I miss you tonight
And they claim you've already died
But the truth is that we're lost in time
We're lost in time
We're lost in time
We're losing time

These haunted dreams are brushed aside
We'll meet again
Another life

I tried to say I miss you tonight
And they claim you've already died
But the truth is that we're lost in time
We're lost in time
We're lost in time
We're losing time
Time...

I wanna see the flame
Behind your silent rage
Behind your lonely eyes
I never wanna see you cry

So d-d-don’t you run
No matter whatcha done
No matter how you bleed
Loving is a dangerous dream

Yes, I’m gonna go in (sane)
I’m gonna go in (sane)
I’m gonna go in (sane)
I’m gonna go in (sane)
Yes, I’m gonna go insane

I don’t know your name
But you’re the reason why
I just have to try, oh oh oh
And it feels like I should stay
But I am too afraid
Damn this foolish heart, oh oh oh

C’mon and celebrate
You can control your fate
This lonely evening
I wanna hear the DJ sing
So n-n-never leave
Imagine trusting me
Oh, I hope you understand
I never wanna see you sad

Yes, I’m gonna go in (sane)
I’m gonna go in (sane)
Well, I’m gonna go in (sane)
Yes, I’m gonna go insane

I don’t know your name
But you’re the reason why
I just have to try, oh oh oh
And it feels like I should stay
But I am too afraid
Damn this foolish heart, oh oh oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

Damn this foolish heart
Damn this foolish heart
Yeah, damn this foolish heart
Damn this foolish heart
Damn this foolish heart
Damn this foolish heart

They say that you’re drowning
You’re losing your touch
Have you thrown yourself into the crunch?
They say you’re a product with nothing to sell
You can fool your fans but you can’t fool yourself

Oh, they’re gonna love you when you’re lost,
You’ve prayed and you’ve sinned
It’s the last road taken
They’re gonna love you when you’ve died
It’s the last wave goodbye

Straight outta Kansas
To the city of fame
Don’t let those blinding lights start blinding your game
You say that you’re loaded, a thousand degrees
Does it feel cold now that you’re down on your knees?

Oh, they’re gonna love you when you’ve lost
You’ve prayed and you’ve sinned
It’s the last road taken
They’re gonna love you when you’ve died
It’s the last wave goodbye
Can you honestly say you felt better yesterday?
You are the champion they cry
Are you drowning inside?
Inside, inside

Oh lonely boy, I know you cry
But there’s no people here to sympathize
They say that you're loaded
Oh, you say that you're loaded

Oh, they’re gonna love you when you’ve lost
You’ve prayed and you’ve sinned
It’s the last road taken
They’re gonna love you when you’ve died
It’s the last wave goodbye
Are you drowning inside?
Inside
Inside (drowning)
Inside (drowning)

I'm a jealous man
Oooh, I can't relate
She's a doe-eyed girl
Oooh, with no complaints

But there's another side that I'm trying to crack
If you open your mind and let me take a stab
At the secrets that you know
Sweet troubled soul

She's a summer tramp
Oooh, all dressed in black
A fluorescent tan
Oooh, sweet heart attack

Oh, but there's another side that I'm trying to crack,
If you open your mind and let me take a stab
At the secrets that you know
Sweet troubled soul

Woah, woah, woah

Woah, I want to suffer in your arms
And woah, and when you're naked in the dark
I want to see your face in the reflection of my bedroom stereo
We'll take it slow
Sweet troubled soul

But there's another side that I'm trying to crack,
If you open your mind and let me take a stab
At the secrets that you know
Just let it goooo...

Woah, I want to suffer in your arms
And woah, and when you're naked in the dark
I want to see your face in the reflection of my bedroom stereo
We'll take it slow
Sweet troubled soul

Oh, sweet troubled soul
Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah

Changing times
Change your precious ways
Addicted longs
I can't follow the rules
You seem to admit

I will find another way
I will find another way

Once again
Without a doubt
I can barely live without
But before you go
Times are changed
Face to face
I can hardly hesitate
But before I go
I just want you to know

I will never feel the same
I will never feel the same
I wish I could change the rules
Of your precious games

A slow decline
The writing's on the wall
Now I will break these chains
And break the ties
That caused our spirits to fall

You will find another way
You will find another way

Once again
Without a doubt
I can barely live without
But before you go
Times are changed
Face to face
I can hardly hesitate
But before I go
I just want you to know

I will never feel the same
I will never feel the same
I wish I could change the rules
Of your precious games

I will never feel the same
I will never feel the same
I wish I could change the rules
Of your precious games

Precious games
Precious games
Precious games
Precious games
Precious games

Suddenly a silence in the house
Suddenly another father disappears
Family caught in something backwards
The fact is, he never was here
Counting all the crickets on the porch
Telling haunted stories on the trains
He had a warped imagination
This patient was never the same

He’s just looking for a crumb
Paranoia haunts him, wondering what he has done
No one is safe, no one is safe

Writing long letters to his dad
That he knows won’t be sent
Mother doesn’t hurt his feelings
Assures him he’s no accident
One more tire in the swamp
One more fire burning thin
He knows where his bleeding heart is
Determined to never give in

No one is safe

Well broken child don't be afraid
So many years, your future hasn't been made
Some day you will understand
I wish I could hold your hand
But I'm doing the best that I can
Doing the best that I can

When the love/hate days turned into years
Voices of your teardrops whispered into my ears
She lives in a different world
Says I'm not in love with her
But I'm doing the best that I can
Doing the best that I can
On my own

In the fight for life who's gonna win
Millions of people try to get a word in
You might be the last of mine
I wish that I could force a smile
But I'm doing the best that I can
Doing the best that I can
On my own
On my own
On my own
On my own

And you know there's a feeling
That a new day's on the rise
And it scares me in a way
But somehow I feel alive
So don't tell me that you're leaving
'Cause I won't know what to say
When I'm going ahead with my plans
Yes, I'm going ahead with my plans

Do you realize that you have just kissed, kissed, kissed it all away
Cause I was there when nobody cared if you lived or you died this day
Well now that you're back on your feet
Oh, you don't even talk to me
But I'm doing the best that I can
Yes, I'm doing the best that I can
On my own
On my own

Look at the photographs on the wall
The faces that you keep
Isn't it crowded here in the hall?
A lonely place to be
Walk away, walk away but don't retreat
I'm in the photograph on your wall
And it's all you'll ever need…

She was a stranger in her own house
The wind beneath her feet
Isn't it strange when you figure out
The monsters in your sleep?
Walk away, walk away but don't retreat
You're in the photograph on my wall
And it's all you'll ever be…

Well times are different, love is changing
God is watching, hell is raining
Times are different, love is changing
God is watching, hell is raining on you

And together we'll find, we're better apart
I don't know the way and I don't know the start
But I won't regret you, I won't regret you

And together we'll see, we're better apart
I don't know the way and I don't know the start
But I won't regret you, I won't regret you

Goodnight
Tomorrow morning isn’t far
I will be interesting
When you're alone and feeling bored
I watched a city cry
I thought I lost you in the fall
I thought of everything
I cannot lose you anymore

So won't you stay?
I’m drowning in the rain
Darlin' say the words
And I will stay
I’m drowning in the rain
Darlin' say the words
And I will stay the night

I’m just the trouble that you need
I’m just a year away from when the future swallows me
And when you’re left behind
It takes a lifetime to be seen
Cause something happened here
Somehow we're younger in our dreams

So won't you stay?
I’m drowning in the rain
Darlin' say the words
And I will stay
I’m drowning in the rain
Darlin' say the words
And I will stay the night

You’re different
And all the rest are the same
Oh, you’re different
And all the rest are the same
The same, stay the same

Cause something happened here
It's not a worthless cause
And I said so I can, so I can

Stay
I’m drowning in the rain
Darlin' say the words
And I will stay
I’m drowning in the rain
Darlin' say the words
And I will stay
