The Skin We Shed Has Stories To Tell Lyrics - Ghost

When every block and tree 

Offered endless chances 

When dreams burned with purity, 

Love, goblins and gods 

Once upon a time they stood on 

The edge of a black hole, 

With their backs to the blade 

Once upon a time they stood on 

The edge of a black hole, 

Amazed by the sun

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Their tiny hands clung to their mothers, 

Fathers and their paper dolls 

One by one they wilted and withered 

At the bottom of the sandbox 

They cried out, but their creators 

Were without an answer 

"What about the promises?" 

"Where have our red balloons floated off to?" 

At best they were replied to 

With sympathy, sadness and distant touches 

Overcome by sorrow, greed and hate 

One time superheroes fell powerless 

Soon there after, the world, 

In all of its magic and splendor, 

Fell victim to they tyranny 

Of zombies and villains 

"Oh cruel world, you will not take me tonight" 

"There is a score left unsettled" 

"Oh cruel world, you will not take me tonight" 

"I will slay your dragons with kindness, 

I will find the tie that binds us" 

"You've taken my Emily's, my Ryan's, 

Jill's and Jacks" 

"You've taken my laughter 

And now I'm taking it back" 

"I do not fear your witches, lions or sharks" 

"I have love's lullaby 

And a night light for a heart" 

"There is a penny in the wishing well 

And a match left to light" 

"Oh cruel world you're all mine tonight"
