Cam Steady
Lavender Town Syndrome
[Chorus]
As I roll through the grave of the city I knew
I feel my pulse start to change, a familiar tune
And all the ghosts sing the blues to the past comin' back at you
Through the rose-tinted glasses, everything still look lavender
Man, I hope and I pray
As I sit in my tomb
My holy soul finds a place
That I'm missin' with you
And all the ghosts sing the blues to the past comin' back at you
Through the rose-tinted glasses, everything still look lavender

[Verse]
I lost my faith in praying for salvation
Death never been my friend, but, god, the sediment's persuasive
Hеll hadn't hath no hatred, till I went and bashed thosе gates in
The grave made a slave, to gaze up at my replacement
I find myself alone, my city shed no tears
Got no air to cry for help, but still there's ringing in my ear
The ones I loved are older, moving on like I was never here
I feel their hand upon my shoulder, when I turn it disappears

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm incoherent!
Apparitions laughin' at me and I can't unhear it
Ever taunted by the tune, it's chippin' at my spirit
Decayin' at the mind and the appearance
As I lay forgotten by my dearest
So I just curse myself till it's lifted
As my destiny's bonded to blight
They say there ain't no cure for this sickness
In my body I'm buried alive
[Chorus]
As I roll through the grave of the city I knew
I feel my pulse start to change, a familiar tune
And all the ghosts sing the blues to the past comin' back at you
Through the rose-tinted glasses, everything still look lavender
Man, I hope and I pray
As I sit in my tomb
My holy soul finds a place
That I'm missin' with you
And all the ghosts sing the blues to the past comin' back at you
Through the rose-tinted glasses, everything still look lavender

[Verse]
To the parents laying children to rest
I really hope you can forgive the things we couldn't forget
There is a city where you'll see us again
But until then we lay in bed
As every moment is a nail to the head
We're sorry we had to go
You never know how to heal from when you bury your own
Just know a ghost town don't gotta mean that you are alone
I see you see to my soul
We can't be with you for the time but we'll be watching below
I'm sad inside that you weep
But no more crying for me
I didn't ever wanna die, I was just dying to sleep
And, god, I hate that it's haunting you
Cause I'm lying in peace
But now the emptiness I feel's a different kind of disease
[Pre-Chorus]
As I made my head to a prison
With your rhythm encaged in my mind
They say there ain't no rest for the wicked
So I'm sleepwalking all through the night

[Chorus]
As I roll through the grave of the city I knew
I feel my pulse start to change, a familiar tune
And all the ghosts sing the blues to the past comin' back at you
Through the rose-tinted glasses, everything still look lavender
Man, I hope and I pray
As I sit in my tomb
My holy soul finds a place
That I'm missin' with you
And all the ghosts sing the blues to the past comin' back at you
Through the rose-tinted glasses, everything still look lavender

[Outro]
The game made me sick
The game made me sick
The game made me sick
The game made me sick
