The Benjamin Daniels - The Ballad Lyrics

The streets become a maze
Dull orange lights surround me
I'm lost, can't find my way out
A rush in my eyes
Rage in my hands
I cave in
Think maybe it rained that night
I'm ditching my sense of pride
A feeling of calm
Moves through me
Watch the night eroding
Remind me again how this ends
With me on the floor
A bottle in my hand
Alone and condemned
Riding this high towards salvation
Abandoning all reason
Leaving caution
Behind with full faith
Dare I say
The next round's on me
I'm telling you
It's just one more
It's just this time
It's just my kind of fun
You try to hear me but you
You're lightyears away
After every lie
(Every lie)
And every word I thought was true
(If I stand by my crooked truths I'd die)
I'd die to live my life without you
Remind me again how this ends
With me on the floor
A bottle in my hand
Alone and condemned
Riding this high towards salvation
Abandoning all reason
Leaving caution
Behind with full faith
Gaps in our times filled with cigarettes
Those same gaps in our lives filled with hazy nights and hungry eyes
We're tired
The ghost of you, the ghost of me
And all we could have been
The ghost of you, the ghost of me
And all we could have been
The ghost of you, the ghost of me
And all we could have been
The ghost of you, the ghost of me
And all we could have
The nights get brighter as we fall
The lights grow dimmer in the dawn
What are we after, after all
A sea of unfazed faces
We're just bits and pieces
And nothing beneath at all
Remind me again how this ends
With me on the floor
A bottle in my hand
Riding this high towards salvation
Abandoning all reason
Leaving caution
Behind with full faith
