lyrics

Gets a little colder each night
Take a ride, all alone, to clear my mind
Some STP and BoC are my only friends
Full of empty in a city where dreams end

Don't say
That this is where my life will end
Don't think
I'll ever come back here again
Don't wait
Till death comes knocking at the door
Don't stay
Where you've got nothing anymore

It's become a ghost town
Everything's gone into the ground
I'm gonna leave this ghost town
Off to somewhere I'll never be found

It's just one big ghost town
Not too many people left around
I'm gonna leave this ghost town
Ascend and never come back down

I'll never come back 'round

Take another look back and all I see
Always haunted by inherited misery
Sit alone, with my thoughts, like a casualty
Two decades offered up to monotony 

Won't stay
Where I've got nothing anymore
Won't wait
I think I've found my open door
Won't be
Another victim of recycled fate
Won't freeze
Let's hope the future lights a flame

Been spending just about every single day
Just trying to find myself a better way
Gets so cold, all alone, in the dark and grey
Nothing here but echoes of what used to be

It's a curse no one ever quite learns to break
It's a place where the worst wouldn't want to stay
Somehow, by now, you'd think I'd find a way
But it's a long road out of here I've yet to take

It's become a ghost town
Everything's gone into the ground
I'm gonna leave this ghost town
Off to somewhere I'll never be found

It's just one big ghost town
Not too many people left around
I'm gonna leave this ghost town
Ascend and never come back down

I'll never come back 'round

Got all the time in the world, until we die
Do or don't, it's a choice only you decide
Look towards the sun and shadows cast behind
Never let your fears constrain your life

Won't stay
Where I've got nothing anymore
Won't wait
I know I've found my open door
Don't wait
Till death comes knocking at the door
Don't stay
Where you've got nothing anymore

Feels so alive
Feels so revived
Set it on fire
Free to aspire

It's a ghost town,
With not too many people left around
Somehow,
I don't feel so hopeless, in this light I've found

A ghost town,
It's a home I've learned to live without
I've found
Somewhere better for my fire to die out
