Green Grass and Gray Skin

Verse 1

Gas mask tight

Fog is rolling thick and white

I found a spot behind the wall

Where the giants look real small

Stashed my pack in the grass

While the rotting ghouls just pass

Striking a match to a paper end

Waiting for the paranoia to bend

Pre-Chorus

Cloud in my lungs

Silent songs on the tip of tongues

They are clawing at the pine

I am feeling just fine

Chorus

Staring down the dead through a emerald haze

Life is moving slow in a jagged maze

Walking through the yard while I'm drifting away

Maybe I can hide

Maybe I can stay

Holding on to the ghost of a high tonight

Verse 2

Groaning coming from the street

Stumbling legs and heavy feet

The neighbors got a different look

Just like monsters in a book

Blue smoke rises from the bowl

Deep inside my heavy soul

Safety is a locked steel latch

Mixed with every lucky batch

Pre-Chorus

Cloud in my lungs

Silent songs on the tip of tongues

They are clawing at the pine

I am feeling just fine

Chorus

Staring down the dead through a emerald haze

Life is moving slow in a jagged maze

Walking through the yard while I'm drifting away

Maybe I can hide

Maybe I can stay

Holding on to the ghost of a high tonight

Bridge

Mind is soaring

Brain is roaring

Eyes are pouring

The red sun is rising

The horde is surprising

The dream is capsizing

But the leaf makes it sweet

Chorus

Staring down the dead through a emerald haze

Life is moving slow in a jagged maze

Walking through the yard while I'm drifting away

Maybe I can hide

Maybe I can stay

Holding on to the ghost of a high tonight
