What if all my enemies were dead
And I could forget everything they said
Could I be then who I really am?
What if I sold everything I own
And ran away from everyone I know
Could I make another place my home?
If I let go all of my ghosts
Who would I dote over the most?
What if everyone is right?
Should've taken their advice
But I can't change my mind
If I let go all of my ghosts
Who would I dote over the most?
(What if everybody else is right)
(Should've taken more of their advice)
And I could forget everything they said
Could I be then who I really am?
And ran away from everyone I know
Could I make another place my home?
Who would I dote over the most?
Should've taken their advice
But I can't change my mind
Who would I dote over the most?
(Should've taken more of their advice)

I think the third line is "could I be then who I really am?"
good one. thanks. i'll fix that.
Ok, this song seems important in reference to the rest of the album. Especially regarding the song that is before this one on the album, "running". Both songs are seemingly ambigous, but together, they kind of paint a picture of an incredibly desperate individual who is sort of out on his own in the world. Not eating, getting thinner, trying to stay warm. And this song shows that same individual as a potentially paranoid person loosing his grip on his sanity. The end of the song gets very dream-like as he repeats himself. Just a theory. but the songs seem like they fit together. Doesn't really apply to the rest of the album.
i'm hearing:
"and if i dump all my ghosts who will i ____ over the most" ?
don't know what that word in the middle is, though.

Dump just doesn't SEEM right. But that's what I hear.
"who will I dote over the most" is what I'm hearing.
Hmmm... if the "who would I dump" part was accurate, the song sounds like it's about some really jaded and perhaps jilted man regretting that his existence revolves around his pain and hatred.
And using pain and hatred(his "ghosts") as a justification, he severes his relations with others constantly or basically, he keeps trying to hurt the ones who care for him.
who would I dote over the most it sounds like that to me which ghost would I worry about leaving the most
...I think it's really awesome that they are unwilling to compromise their phrasing to make their lyrics intelligible. Yeah, I think it's dote now too.
