Ghost Town

(álbum: California Is Cold - 2018)

Shoe boxes full of photographs and love letters
Shotgun shells, a couple crow feathers
Kill a pack of camels as the morning sun breaks
Through my bedroom window in the Hollywood drug maze
Catch a high from the lights or the spike
I've been selling off my worries every night
Good advice needed, bad advice taken
Still waiting at the same train station
All my friends are ghosts and they've got no faces
Dance around with pockets full of posie till' we faded
Fall away and shedding skin hiding all the mess I'm in
Wrote a song about suicide and named it medicine
I wish time was just an hourglass
But life is so short, one day it'll all pass
For today I'm open wide as an eagle glides
Cutting all these knives at the angles of my evil side

I've been waiting on an angel this whole time
I've been lost and I've tangoed to survive
Yeah I painted till' the pain goes goodbye
Yeah I chase and I race for a good life

I've been waiting on an angel this whole time
I've been lost and I've tangoed to survive
Yeah I painted till' the pain goes goodbye
Yeah I chase for a taste of a good life

Summer skin with my winter eyes
Hunting and searching for something that's always been inside
Till' the tides run low and I'm standing at the beach side while the palm trees blow
A calm breeze grows but I still feel nervous
All these accidents I did it on purpose
The hermit cracked the shell and I flipped my last penny in the lucky wishing well
Time killing like murder
All these bodies filling out the floor further
Heaven's high and hell is down, wonder where the hell I'm now
Somewhere in the hills at sun set above this ghost town
Smoke clouds float around, this fool's golden crown
Used to drop a jewel, I just hold em' now
Hang it up and call it quits, cut your heart and slit your wrists
Or start to smile at the fact that you don't know what it is
Is this house haunted or I'm to blame
Walked passed the mirror and I didn't see a damn thing

I've been waiting on an angel this whole time
I've been lost and I've tangoed to survive
Yeah I painted till' the pain goes goodbye
Yeah I chase and I race for a good life

I've been waiting on an angel this whole time
I've been lost and I've tangoed to survive
Yeah I painted till' the pain goes goodbye
Yeah I chase for a taste of a good life
