Ghost In The House

Shot down, awoke to smoke so low

No sound, deep breath and choke follow

Turn 'round, no sense of where this goes

Lost, blind, surrounded

Fall down, respect alone is not a throne

Too proud, a decade's work gone unknown

Right now, awoke to smoke so low

Strength builds, compounded

One knife drawn to ask for respect

The second meant to prove it's a threat

The third was meant to use and collect

One night spent to find the address

The second serves to learn it's a test

The third is meant to prove it's a quest

If this storm ever leaves we'd change all our ways

Blaze through the breeze and freeze the wind in its place

We'd burn, we'd bleed, we'd stay in between

We'd say what we mean and throw the rest away

And in the morning we'd see all the things that we'd saved

Wake up in the middle of the churning waves

We'd learn, we'd breathe, we'd stay in between

We'd say what we mean and throw the rest away

We slept on the lake

And felt our bodies lock into the tectonic plates

I could have sworn it was grace

'Cause nothing else could feel so contrived and still be quite so alive

We carry on

Because one day you're here, the next you're gone

Why's that so wrong?

I need this more than you know

So take it or just leave it alone

These songs were forged in the fires

They were scorched by the flames

So if we fought for a purpose

Just let our ashes resurface

We've never felt so inspired

As the waves met our remains

This ocean's a furnace

Just let our ashes resurface
