[Intro: Danny Barringer]
{Verse 1 Danny Barringer]
I keep a radio on all day
For the skeletons on display
As long as the music plays
It will keep them occupied
And now the beauty is cracking
I know that I'm lacking
And now were attacking
[Refrain: Danny Barringer]
Patterns you won't recognize
Patterns you don't recognize
[Chorus: Danny Barringer]
We chase our shadows like the ghost
But this is how we chose
To spend our afternoons
Staring holes, in our shoes
This place is filled with ugly things
Diamond rings
And now we lay asleep on the lawn
And if god was in the house tonight
Well I hope he left the lights on
I'm afraid of the dark
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2: Danny Barringer]
We were beautiful spectacles
Wrapped in our overcoats
Selling our time and biting our fingernails
Lost all of our signal through a dozen ugly chemicals
Laughed at our dance as we held our bodies to the rails
The devil drew back and he sharpened his teeth
And the prophecy speaks what little relief
For these helpless criminals trapped in the smoke
With the hungry machinery's fires and troubles
[Chorus: Danny Barringer/ 𝘊𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘣𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳]
We chase our shadows like the ghost
But this is how we chose
To spend our afternoons
Staring holes, in our shoes
This place is filled with ugly things
Diamond rings
And now we lay asleep on the lawn
And if god was in the house tonight
Well I hope he left the lights on
I'm scared of the dark
[Verse 3: Danny Barringer]
Justify our directions
With your train wreck morals
Cups that never fill
Badly broken polished words you use
But in the end, you only prove
Your pocket was insatiable
Your love was getting stale
What you thought was a palace turned into a prison cell
Time will be no great escape for you
You, you, woah, you, woah
[Chorus: Danny Barringer/𝘊𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘣𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳 ]
We chase our shadows like the ghost
But this is how we chose
To spend our afternoons
Staring holes, in our shoes
This place is filled with ugly things
Diamond rings
And now we lay asleep on the lawn
And if god was in the house tonight
Well I hope he left the lights on
[Chorus: Danny Barringer/ 𝘊𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘣𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳]
We chase our shadows like the ghost
But this is how we chose
To spend our afternoons
Staring holes, in our shoes
This place is filled with ugly things
Diamond rings
And now we lay asleep on the lawn
And if god was in the house tonight
Well I hope he left the lights on
[Outro: Danny Barringer/ 𝘊𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘣𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳]
We chase our shadows like the ghost
But this is how we chose
To spend our afternoons
Staring holes, in our shoes
This place is filled with ugly things
Diamond rings
And now we lay asleep on the lawn
And if god was in the house tonight
Well I hope he left the lights on
{Verse 1 Danny Barringer]

We chase our shadows like the ghost

To spend our afternoons
Staring holes, in our shoes
This place is filled with ugly things
Diamond rings
And now we lay asleep on the lawn
And if god was in the house tonight
Well I hope he left the lights on
I'm afraid of the dark
