A Toast to the Ghost

Here's a toast to the night

That I drown my pain with bottle beside me

Here's a toast to the night

That I lose my faith and the darkness finds me (boo)

I was feeling just a little bit too holy lately

Had to cut these wings off 'cause they suffocate me

I really can't stand the thought of losing 'nother baby

But it still rots in this fucked up brain you gave me

I know my little brother lost a battle with addiction

Couldn't you just wait a little longer? Locked him up in prison

Selfish, I know, but it's not the path that he chose

Overdosing on a drug created to be lethal

I wish I could rewrite the book, I wish it wasn't written

I wish you could give back my family, what you took

And listen to the prayers I used to send, back when I thought I was a Christian

Now I'm ghost, popping champagne in the kitchen

Here's a toast to the nights that I lose my faith and the darkness finds me

Here's a toast to the nights that I drown my pain with the bottle beside me, yeah

Here's a toast to the nights that I lose my way and the darkness guides me

Here's a toast to the night (night), to the ghosts in my life

I'm not a big believer in this thing you call, "Religion"

'Cause if there really is a God, then why these children missing?

And how come all the people that I love passed from cancer?

I gave you three prayers that you still have yet to answer

So 'til the day I lay six-feet down in my grave

I won't ever say, "Hi," never coming back again

I'm good at goodbyes, so, why don't we just call it quits?

Open up that bottle, let this New Year's toast commence?

I wish I could rewrite the book, I wish it wasn't written

I wish you could give back my family, what you took

And listen to the prayers I used to send, back when I thought I was a Christian

Now I'm ghost, popping champagne in the kitchen

Here's a toast to the nights that I lose my faith and the darkness finds me

Here's a toast to the nights that I drown my pain with the bottle beside me, yeah

Here's a toast to the nights that I lose my way and the darkness guides me

Here's a toast to the night (night), to the ghosts in my life

Here's a toast to the nights that I lose my faith and the darkness finds me

Here's a toast to the nights that I drown my pain with the bottle beside me, yeah

Here's a toast to the nights that I lose my way and the darkness guides me

Here's a toast to the night (night), to the ghosts in my life
