Ghosts of my madness

from Do Not Resuscitate by The Quixotes

/

lyrics

Gradually, I've become aware
Of you always standing there
Driven by ghosts of my keeping
Can't close my eyes for all my sleeping
Cradled in my eyes are years and years of madness
Sad, but I can't clear my head
You walk away with no distress
Walk away with no distress

I have plastered over all the cracks
I know there ain't no going back
A crazy turn-off, one a day
It's not the way, it's not the way
No, it's not the way

The ghosts of my madness
They follow me around
I wallow in your waters
I'm surely to be drowned
I'm hollow in your thoughts of me
Can you ever bring me round?

Slowly, I'm drawn into this shell
Hell, my broken voice won't kiss and tell
Cradled in my eyes are years and years of heartache
Stoned and wild I stand again [stand to gain]
You walk away with no mistake
Walk away, make no mistake

I have plastered over all the cracks
I know there ain't no going back
A crazy turn-on, one a day
It's not the way, it's not the way
No, it's not the way

The ghosts of my madness
They follow me around
I wallow in your waters
I'm surely to be drowned
I'm hollow in your thoughts of me
Can you ever bring me round?

The ghosts of my madness
