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 fuck 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 fucking 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 fucking mattered Hold on, survive So long, sleep tight
