Lyrics Giving Up Your Ghosts - OH, MANHATTAN

Giving Up Your Ghosts

I question your integrity but I keep it to myself
Overdose is imminent but only time can tell
So long, I’ll see you in hell
With all the other jezebels who traded their affections for shotgun shells
I know one boy who won’t sleep alone tonight
Accompanied by heroin and slipping self pride
Just keep up your head, and try to be polite
This will be over real soon
Dear god my friends are dead tell me what you’ve done with them
Engraved on marble walls, they’re just ghosts of old graveyards
And I’m making there mistakes even knowing what I know I’m tired of screaming
At myself with this microphone
Well we’ve spent half our lives trying to chase down our highs, and god knows
we’ve
Caught them one to many times
I’ve never felt so dead and alive, then he looked at me with blood shot eyes
I’ve got the needle if you’ve got the stuff, I said I’m giving up my ghosts he
said
You’ll never have enough
He got that shit from jersey, it’s the best you’ll find, he didn’t know it’d
kill him but
The thought must have crossed his mind
Shot up through my veins, chemicals to my brain
I’m coming to see you again
Shot up through my veins, chemicals to my brain
I’m coming up to see you I’ll be there in a matter of days
I’ll find the answers I’ve been meaning to find
Because I am awaiting my time
Until ascension to the silver line
To find that there is nothing to find
And that death is why we were designed
