Living With Ghosts Lyrics

pardon me if i'm not so discreet
all these freaks on the street we all got the disease
gunshot - why not? when your backs on the wall
give it everything you got
don't mind me i just find history
to be full of deceit that's disguised as belief
that's ok it's the price that we pay
to enjoy the abundant consumption and frame
a god given dream - we pour fire on gasoline

are we so comatose? are we living with ghosts?
and do we really know? give me a little bit
are we better than this? we don't know when to quit
man is that all there is? give me a little bi
come with me cause i'd like you to see
all the dust and debris of what
once passed for dreams
cheap shot - so what?
when you suck up abuse, man
you never get enough
can't you see that it's all fantasy
and the lies we believe are starting to breed
that's ok - it's just life day to day
as we drown out the sorrow of our own decay
a god given dream - we put fire in gasoline

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
