LYRIC FOR SALE

By Magenta Mara

Verse 1
Kicking and screaming
Hopelessly dreaming
Of another world away
But I was made to stay
Cemetery impasse
Thought I'd never last
No one's alive
It's like they all died

Bridge 1
Crashing into every corner
But I'm running faster, getting stronger
I've noticed a gap in the brick wall
I think I've found the way out

Chorus
Give up the ghost
Death to the town
Burn all the books
Never turn around
Fairweather friends
There is no love lost
Cut off my strings
Making my journey out of the hidden door

Verse 2
Living someone else's life
Wished for goodbyes
Waving from the secret door
But I had to wait forever more
Eternal limbo
Watching from the window
Most of my life
My motivation had died

Bridge 2
Pushing against every corner
But I'm running faster, getting stronger
I've broken a hole in the brick wall
And now I've seen the way out

Chorus
Give up the ghost
Death to the town
Burn all the books
Never turn around
Fairweather friends
There is no love lost
Cut off my strings
Making my journey out of the hidden door

Bridge 3
Twenty years in the ruins
Twenty years feeling tethered
Try to detach from the ghost
Even when you've grown up together
Twenty years in the catacombs
Twenty years in the crypt
But now that I'm getting to higher ground
It almost makes me sick

You know I hated you on sight
And I still despise you tonight
But you've stuck to me like second skin
And you refuse to die

Chorus (x2)
Give up the ghost
Death to the town
Burn all the books
Never turn around

Give up the ghost
Death to the town
Burn all the books
Never turn around
Fairweather friends
There is no love lost
Cut off my strings
Making my journey out of the hidden door

Alternative chorus/outro
Kiss goodbye to the ghost
Wave to the town
I'm closing the books
Try not to turn around
Farewell old friends
And the love that I lost
But I can't untie my strings
How do I make the journey out of the hidden door?
