Go 03:47
Hey kid, it's something they said You try to keep cool but you break down instead Maybe it's all in your head You could have made good but you gave up when you first bled Oh no Don't you let it show Get up and go Hey kid, it's all in your head You float around town with your heart black, eyes red You say, "We're better off dead, Better off gone" just lying there in your bed Oh no Don't you let it show Get up and go

Little Ghost 03:56
There’s a little ghost Dancing in my bedroom She’s got some flowers And it doesn’t matter if they’re in bloom She likes them anyway I lean in to hear her secrets And I'm painted red She thinks it’s funny But I’ve got to listen to what she said She’s got some things to say I know she only wants to play I hope she never goes away When the night comes on She’s still burning bright The darkness weeping in defeat ‘Cause it can’t put out her light She’s luminescent now Oh this little ghost Hanging out on my bed We'll take some flowers Whether they’re alive or they’re dead And make a little crown to put on her head She’ll make the day

The world was filled with so much promise And we’d escape; nothing would stop us I thought we’d make it I thought we’d make it out of this place We burned the days and stayed up all night When we were young and used to live life Like we would never Like we would never die Though we tried Oh man, how we tried Is this real or fake? Now I can’t tell if I’m asleep or awake I think it’s time to make just one more mistake Before this jig is up So this is what they call ‘the good life’ Chasing our ghosts under the bluest skies It’s getting clearer It’s getting clearer now It’s oh so bright Oh please turn off the light I’m starting to break And I don’t know how much more I can take

Mess We Made 03:49
See it in the papers and you hear it when the radio drones Taste it on your bitter tongue and feel it in the ache of your bones And everybody knows it, but no one really gets it at all Build our towers up into the sky to watch them crumble and fall This mess we’ve made; it’s bringing me down This mess we’ve made; it’s bringing me down Holy men and harlots on the corners with the beggars and fiends Politicians selling us a smile to build their killing machines Now everybody’s talking, but no one really knows what to do And while we’re lost in complications love would speak so simple and true This mess we’ve made; it’s bringing me down This mess we’ve made; it’s bringing me down This debt’s been paid; there’s blood on the ground This mess we’ve made; it’s bringing me down Once more we’ll throw it in the fire And watch it all go up in flames By now we should’ve gotten tired But here we go again with the games This mess we’ve made; it’s bringing me down This mess we’ve made is hanging around This debt’s been paid; there’s blood on the ground This mess we’ve made; it’s bringing me down
