Ghost Town

from Endless Summers by Peter Arvidson

	/

lyrics

I feel the past repeating
Inside my psychology
I have to be wasted
Or I feel copy pasted

Where we go, you don't know
What's lying around the bend
Could be echoes of ghosts from yesterday
Coming right around in front to say "hey"

Look at me, dude
I think it's kind of rude
But if I haven't made myself clear
I'm in the mood

Your ghost town doesn't phase me
But I don't want to be lazy
I'm running around my hamster wheel
Just feeling hazy, and

I don't know what's coming next for me
Or what's around the bend, just lately
Your ghost town remains
My anxiety lets the panic build up

Where are we going from here, its 12am
I'll watch another episode of Cheers, makes sense
I guess my mind is churning thoughts out
Before I can get control of them, I just want to be friends
But we are enemies about 95% of the time
I'm in the mood

The panic comes back
And its been a while since I've been on this track
But I don't make any sense, I'll take those meds
Make me feel alive until I have incensed
The smells rise, the patchouli hides the rough scars inside
That make up my mind

I don't have to be projecting onto seas
Waves of social calamities
The media bee stings me
