MMOC Blog #73 - Ghost In THe Doorway LP Lyrics

It hit me that we haven't posted the lyrics to the "Ghost In The Doorway" album on the website, so here they are!  "Jumping Sharks" and many others are featured in previous blogs as well.
 
You’ve Just Got to Believe Me
 
You’ve just gotta believe me, 
I had a smile upon my face
You’ve just gotta believe me, 
I was in an awful place 
(another phase, another place)

Ooh, to put it all behind (on the line)
You wanna sleep, 
and leave the world a while
Don’t wanna see 
That once again you’re just wasting time
Don’t wanna see you’re just wasting time

Ghost In The Doorway

Woke up alone to find 
a ghost in the doorway of mine
Leapt to the floor to leave but he 
disappeared before I could see

Woke up alone to find 
a ghost in the doorway of mine   
This time there was rage in his eyes and he 
started fire to my surprise

Woke up alone to find 
a ghost in the doorway of mine
Took me down and out by the knees, 
told him twice to spare me please

Woke up alone to find 
the ghost in the doorway of mine
Looked in the mirror and I found 
my white sheet thrown on the ground

Visiting My Dreams

I don’t care about reasons
Give it to me or let it be
I’m here waiting for you to say something
You won’t be sad for too long
Remember what you did to me
I’m here waiting for you to say something

It’s been on my mind for weeks
To the point I can’t sleep
You’ve been visiting my dreams
Oh, how sweet

I’ve been here far too long
Just let me know how it will be
I’m here waiting for you to say something
Had I known, I’d let go
I don’t want to wait here and see
I’m here waiting for you to say something

Cried At The Rain

Right after dark’s when you found me
Right after dark’s when you came
Hustlin’ along, alone in the shadows

Waiting there still, it hurts just the same
Cried at the moon, laughed at the rain

Who knows where they’ll find you?
You’re still out waiting, and again that day
Following the story of some idiot’s son

Right after dark through the meadow
A robber who’d come back with anything that day
You’ve got to be ready for that woman to find you

Realize 

Realize what is under your control
And then you’ll find, gather what the future holds
Realize what you have to vizualize
And maybe soon the morning sun will…
            
Rise, gonna make ‘em rise
Realize the pain I see that’s in your eyes
I’m gonna make ‘em
Shine, gonna make ‘em shine (get you by)
Realize the pain I see that’s in your eyes
Bring it together

Realize you can’t forsee everything
Come up with something new to bring
It doesn’t help the whole world’s down, 
it’s no surprse
That maybe soon, the people all will rise

Peace of Mind

Can I get some peace of mind?  
Come back through, sooner or later
We’ll get some peace of mind.  
Come back through to the other side

And I think that I’ve been blind.  
What to do?  Baby once again
I’m going to find my desire 
But I’m not too far behind

Get It All Out

You tell me that you want more
Than I could ever be now baby, I’m down
And I don’t know if you can see
Just what it’s done but it is killing me somehow

You ain’t kiddin’ nobody babe,
Now that I’m down
Take your love, take your things
and get it all out now

Take me down but I won’t stay long
I’ll be back and I’ll be better than you’ve seen
When I leave you’ll know I know that you were never really down, down for me

I Can Still Remember

Walking down these broken castle 
walls within my mind
Spacing out to drift along 
the foggy ruins of time
Nobody can bother me, 
my thoughts have gathered still
Haven’t heard the voices speak, 
I guess they never will

I can still remember
Feels I’m on a one way train
I can still remember, 
and promise to never forget again

In a land that’s faced an 
endless world of misery
I realize I’ve spent way 
too much time away to see
We must forgive but not forget 
these attics of our lives
Or basements if we’d rather call them 
Things that we despise

Never Wanted It To Be This Way

As I walk away from 
everything it seemed was real
The avenue at night is 
something to find solace in, but I
Should’ve been more
Should’ve been

I never wanted to be this way
Can’t think of something right to say
I never wanted it to be this way

As I came to my senses 
away from everyone else
There’s never any reason to want 
sympathy for myself, but I
Should’ve been more
Should’ve been

I never wanted someone who
Can’t be there, that applies to you
I never wanted it to be this way

Tide’s High 

All the time, 
we fought about nothing
Just to see what the truth 
really meant to us
All the time, 
accomplished nothing
Just to find the way 
to scrape on by.  
Appreciate the time

But I could never show you
And I could never be this way, 
and I’ll prove it to you someday

Learned to care, 
and yearned to be there
Reciprocate, once you know 
where you’re coming from

But I could never show you
And I could never be this way, 
but I’ll prove it to you someday
