Face the Dark - Gin Blossoms

Lately, I've been talking with a ghost He tells me all the places I should go He makes me paint my face so that I know That I'm not the only person in my soul He tells me that a monster lives inside And when it gets too angry I should hide 'Cause if I were to try to pick a fight I would barely stand a chance and I'd die Two face call me Harvey Never know when it could change Tried to talk to my reflection but he said he wants my name Wake up the beast Bury the bones Enjoy the feast Take all control When I give you my soul Devils on my shoulder Got an aching down my spine Feels like chains are getting heavy But I don't know which are mine? Can you save me? Am I lost? Is it time to take me From all of these thoughts Two face call me Harvey Never know when it could change Tried to talk to my reflection but he said he wants my name Wake up the beast Bury the bones Enjoy the feast Take all control When I give you my soul Bury the bones Enjoy the feast Take all control Wake up the beast Bury the bones Enjoy the feast Take all control When I give you my soul

Take me now or forever leave me be I am on my own, but I'm not alone Take me now or forever leave me be It's my time I know, and I know you know, too Say you're lonely Your dreams are falling And say tonight You'll make it right That I'm the one And you'll be gone And say you're sorry Because you broke me I think of you The moon is blue The glow in your eyes Was just a lie See me now, I'm proudly wearing my crown I don't feel alone, I hold the world you know See me now, I'm proudly wearing my crown In this life I own, the darkest throne Say you're lonely Your dreams are falling And say tonight You'll make it right That I'm the one And you'll be gone And say you're sorry Because you broke me I think of you The moon is blue The glow in your eyes Was just a lie Say you're lonely Your dreams are falling And say tonight You'll make it right I'm the one And you'll be gone And say you're sorry Because you broke me I think of you The moon is blue The glow in your eyes Was just a lie Say you're sorry I think of you Just a lie You broke me I think of you Just a lie Was just a lie Just a lie

I never want to go away again I just can't face one more goodbye I need more pills and drink to kill the pain It hurts too much each time you cry Out here I try my best to occupy My mind with things that I should do But in my heart and soul I recognize There's nothing I want more than you When I see your face I feel my heart exploding An empty space All my contempt and loathing Has been replaced With a keen sense of knowing When I see your face When I see your face I miss you so much, I can't think straight I miss you so much, I can't sleep When I get home, I'm never leaving again I'm yours and I'll be yours to keep When I see your face I feel my heart exploding An empty space All my contempt and loathing Has been replaced With a keen sense of knowing When I see your face When I see your face When I see your face When I see your face When I see your face When I see your face

As the night is closing in Unresolved and undefined Denies the need and challenges necessity Deprivation in a chaos of words The hours break the sinews of resistance The endline blurs Where the impossible and outsized Never learn to coexist Not for meaning Not for need Not for want alone Not for want alone Not for meaning Not for need Not for want alone How can we silence what is never said? How can we scream away the noise? It's burning from the inside out The restless tries not to remember This useless insight that sheds more light on the pain Must remain in the unbroken dark In stages of infinite time It lies and it waits The nerve endings touch The surface of my dreams And what seems like life Stretches out eternally I took on too much The hours fled And I was left here Stranded in doubt Not for meaning Not for need Not for want alone Not for want alone Not for meaning Not for need Not for want alone How can we kill what is never given? How can we scream away the night? It's burning from the inside out The restless tries not to remember This useless insight that sheds more light on the pain Must remain in the unbroken dark Not for meaning Not for need Not for want alone How can we silence what is never said? How can we scream away the noise? It burns on the inside As I try to not remember These endless, useless insights Not for meaning Not for need Not for want alone How can we keep what is never spoken Here in the unbroken dark

This night never happened If it's all right with you Not a word of our weakness So much as a clue There's a place outside I'm glad to play no part The fairest arms can tally up the faintest stars Wash away my weekend Shatter my sight C'mon sweet amnesia You're needed here tonight Take a seat in the shadows Forget it as it goes Dissipate in the morning air All you know If you find out You'll find every lie you might I was nowhere near last night Whitewash everything in sight These suspicions have been long drained dry Our persistence holds them here A maze of bars and rented rooms remain Enough to make you almost look away This night never happened If it's all right with you Another for the collection of things we didn't do That private party is over Thank god we get new starts The fairest arms still tally up the faintest stars When it comes down In a clear and certain light I was nowhere near last night I was nowhere near last night Whitewash everything in sight...

I'm a boy and she's a girl With more charm than most movie stars So we met through a friend We rent a place and she comes 'round to stay And now your girlfriend is ringing in my ears again It's no sure shot, but she likes all my favourite things I know I shouldn't, but I'd like to spend more time with her I wish she'd come over today What am I supposed to do? I can tell, they get along so well Is it possible, she likes me too? I'm not sure if I should read between those lines And now you're girlfriend is ringing in my ears again I should be moving out, but can't cause we've just signed a lease My hands are shaking, the bedroom walls are paper thin I heard her come over today Thought maybe we'd go out for a movie And we can forget friends who'll be fuming Then I could walk you home in the evening And that's just being friendly And now you're girlfriend is ringing in my ears again And when she smiles I can't hide my jealousy Oh I can't take it, boy, I hope she's faking it I heard he bought a ring today I heard they got engaged today

Hello, hello Who put love in my head? I know, I know, it's made of lead Hello, hello Science came, my kingdom reigned Below, below, my Charlemagne And the river always flows, so if you go I will know by the rain, my Charlemagne Hello, hello My eyes tried, hide, cried, died Beside the snow in the winter Hello, hello The doctors knew, prescribed me you Below, below, the amber sky And the river always flows, so if you go I will know by the rain, my Charlemagne And the river always flows tears of gold Left me cold, do you feel the same, my Charlemagne? My Charlemagne, my Charlemagne My Charlemagne, my Charlemagne Don't go, if only I could show you Don't go, if only I could show you Don't go, if only I could show you Don't go, if only I could show you And the river always flows, so if you go I will know by the rain, my Charlemagne And the river always flows tears of gold Left me cold, do you feel the same, my Charlemagne?
