OH, MANHATTAN LYRICS

"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.
