Ghost Rule Lyrics

I only know how to lie, I guess I really can’t dodge it this time
No law to pardon my crime, no clemency for this evil of mine
Things don’t look better today, the mask I wear is crumbling away
Lapsing in depravity, I didn’t see what was happening to me

Come here, no go away, stay…
“I’ve hidden it away”

Mayday! Find me if you think you can,
Then you can leave and never hold me close again
Hey mayday! Find me if you think you can,
But could you smile for me at the very end?

(Say woah)
I know I’m nothing more than an empty ghost
An empty shell of lies, and it haunts me so

(Hey!)

Although “no” is what I meant, I gave a “yes” and lied yet again
And yeah I have my regrets, it’s just so easy to plead “innocent”
Playing the victim are you? Just say a prayer, or heck, make it two
Was so busy talking away, unknown to me, I was digging my grave

The guilt, it’s here to stay, grey…
Manipulate away

Mayday! Go ahead and fire away,
Since honesty is hard for me to find today
Hey, mayday! Go ahead and judge away,
I chose to be this kind of person anyway

(Say woah)

I know I’m nothing more than a wandering ghost
An empty shell that’s nothing but a void at most

(Hey!)

Wishing for the many things I lack within,
I’m greeted by a “me” I didn’t know again
Still I kept on moving right on through the sea,
so dark a night that had come over me

Could you ever love me as I am today?
Somebody fed on ego, live forever this way
When you look at me who do you actually see?
This lonely toxic clown could be...

Mayday! Find me if you think you can,
Then you can leave and never hold me close again
Hey mayday! Find me if you think you can,
But could you smile for me at the very end?

Mayday! Go ahead and fire away,
Since honesty is hard for me to find today
Hey, mayday! Go ahead and judge away,
I chose to be this kind of person anyway

Mayday! Tell them who I really am,
Since everything I know’s about to meet its end
Hey Mayday! Dancing with the ghost I am,
You figure out the me you knew was just a sham?

Know I’m nothing more than an empty ghost
An empty shell of lies, and it haunts me so

(Say woah)

I know I’m nothing more than a wandering ghost
An empty shell that’s nothing but a void at most

I only know how to lie, I guess I really can’t dodge it this time
No law to pardon my crime, no clemency for this evil of mine
