Make my way through the valley of the stoned
Breathe in deep ‘cause there's no place quite like home
Going once, going twice, I'm a coward in disguise
Hero to f** up right before your eyes
I'm a pretender, and I surrender, so now you know
[Chorus]
And oh, I'm surrounded by ghosts
I'm singing loudly in Kingston, filling me with hope
Or am I just the dead amongst live?
Does it really f**ing matter?
Hold on, survive
Wind my way through the city, black and blue
I have scars, proof of life
But I swear I see through you
Let me explain, with the pain comes the hours wide awake
I get lost in my thoughts and decisions that I make
I'm a pretender, and I surrender, so now you know
[Chorus]
If there was just some other way
I'd live in sunshine everyday
And I'd explain the silly things in my brain
You're so smart and you're so strong
And I believe you when you say I'm wrong
So I'm packed and I might show up on holidays
And oh, I'm surrounded by ghosts
Singing loudly in Kingston, filling me with hope
And now I'm just the dead amongst live
And it never f**ing mattered
Hold on, survive
So long, sleep tight
