Phantogram - Ceremony Lyrics
Dear God
(What would I do?)
(And what would I do?)
(What would I do)
(Without you?)
Take me out
Of this world I'm livin' in
Tell, tell my friends
'Cause I know I'ma see again
Hey, dear God
Show me how to rope a dope
Don't know why
I want you to see it
I want you to feel it
Dear, dear God
Why's there so much fight in them eyes
I want you to see it
I want you to feel it
Dear God, you save the only lonely lives
I'm feeling good
I'm feeling fine
These days I see too much
I ain't got time
I'm out of sight
I'm out of mind
Take me out
Of this world I'm livin' in
Tell, tell my friends
'Cause I know I'ma see again
Hey, dear God
You've heard it know it note for note blows my mind
I want you to feel me
I want you to see it
Dear, dear God
It's here, it's all so clear
And my heart survives
Dear God you save the only lonely lives
I'm feeling good
I'm feeling fine
These days I see too much
I ain't got time
I'm out of sight
I'm out of mind
Take me out
Of this world I'm livin' in
Tell, tell my friends
'Cause I know I'ma see again
Take me out
Of this world I'm livin' in
Tell, tell my friends
'Cause I know I'ma see again
Take me out
Of this world I'm livin' in
Tell, tell my friends
'Cause I know I'ma see again

In A Spiral
I'm a name, on a feed, in a spiral
Imitate, elevate, making heads roll
Every day, every day, in a spiral
Every night, dancing with my shadow
Run away to the shade in a spiral
Imitate, elevate, watching heads roll
I can see the end is coming 'round
Every day, every day, in a spiral
Better help me now, I'm going down
Every day, every day, in a spiral
I'm a void, in a hole, in a hollow
Fantasy on our feed when I follow
No mistake, catch a break with your high hopes
Okay, okay, put you in a k-hole
I can see the end is coming 'round
In a spiral
Better help me now, I'm going down
When did I get home?
Around and around it goes
Am I all I know?
But you still keep calling
Where did my time go?
All around and around it shows
I am all I know
But I still keep falling
I can see the end is coming 'round
Every day, every day, in a spiral
Every day, every day
Better help me now, I'm going down
(Every day, every day) in a spiral
(Every day, every day) in a spiral

Into Happiness
Here I go
Here I am
A life of gold
How long have I been driving?
Fall into happiness
Wish you could be here
No more loneliness
You make it perfect
Here I go
Lightning like a [?]
A life of gold
It's funny how things roll
Fall into happiness
Wish you could be here
No more loneliness
You make it perfect
Fall into happiness
Wish you could be here
No more loneliness
You make it perfect
Everything is changing
Sorry I've been missing
Down the road I've left behind
Everything is clearer now
I've been getting better
How could I have been so blind?
Fall into happiness
Wish you could be here
No more loneliness
You make it perfect
Fall into happiness
Wish you could be here
No more loneliness
You make it perfect
Everything is changing
Sorry I've been missing
Down the road I've left behind
Everything is clearer now
I've been getting better
How could I have been so blind?
Wish you could be here
You make it perfect

Pedestal
You can make a hospital lovely
I'm not afraid of the scars, they ain't ugly
I can heal it all if you're lucky
Open up, baby, you gotta just trust me
'Cause I was in love with you
Is that what you're supposed to do?
When I put you on this pedestal (ooh)
Is that what you're supposed to do?
Is that what you're supposed to do?
We can hide underneath all the covers
You know reality's just cold without each other
Lucid dreams that we can discover
We can't pretend that we see the same colors
I realize I have to choose
Scratchin' at the door outside
I could walk away or stay
Either way I'm givin' up a fight
'Cause I was in love with you
Is that what you're supposed to do?
When I put you on this pedestal (ooh)
Is that what you're supposed to do?
Is that what you're supposed to do?
(Is that what you're supposed to do?)
When I put you on a
'Cause I was in love with you
Is that what you're supposed to do?
When I put you on this pedestal
Is that what you're supposed to do?
Is that what you're supposed to do?
You can make a hospital lovely

Love Me Now
Never wanted what we make
I've said all I had to say
'Cause when you break your eyes off of me
I'm always caught between the devil and a screen
D'you love me, love me, love me, love me now?
What's a loaded gun to me?
I wanna be the one to say goodnight
And if I change my style once again
I'm always caught between what you wish and what I am
D'you love me, love me, love me, love me now?
D'you love me, love me, love me, love me now?
D'you need to, need to, need to, need to break me down?
D'you love me, love me, love me, love me now?
D'you love me, love me, love me, love me now?
D'you love me, love me, love me, love me now?
D'you need to, need to, need to, need to break me down
To love me, love me, love me, love me now?
Do you need to, need to, need to, need to break me down

Let Me Down
I decide it when it ends
Digging the only way in
Don't make me scream and beg
Nothing will ever feel new
It goes on and on until it's off
Cutting my only way in
Gray static in my head
And I'm ready to let me down
I can't believe this nightmare just won't go away
There's no way, there's no way I'll let you down
My head's on fire, all around us, every day
There's no way, there's no way I'll let you down, whoa
Running, running out of days
Digging my only grave, yeah
I tried to take my break
But the demon is always angry
Ooh, it goes on and on, and now it ends
The reality's breaking me in
Don't leave me here this way
Now you're ready to let me down
I can't believe this nightmare just won't go away
There's no way, there's no way I'll let you down
My head's on fire, all around us, every day
There's no way, there's no way I'll let you down, whoa
I can't let it down
I can't believe this nightmare just won't go away
I can't believe this nightmare just won't go away
And the world's on fire, all around us, every day
There's no way, there's no way I'll let you down, whoa
I'll let you down
I'll let you down
I'll let you

News Today
I saw you on the news today
You was alive
You was just healthy and on your way
And I was happy too
And I was happy
Tomorrow I turned on the radio
Realized I never made it to your first show
And I won't be gone
And I will let it go
Oh
Ah
In a different place
In a different shape
In a different shade
And a different shame
In a different place
In a different shade
Different shade, different place
I saw you on the news today
You was alive
You was just healthy and on your way
You was happy
And I was happy too

Mister Impossible
If I told you, you'd think I was crazy, yeah
I'm the sun and the moon and the stars
I'm the earth, I'm the water you walk on, yeah
I'm the sun and the moon and the stars
Dead guy
I wanna see the light
What's on the other side?
Will that satisfy me?
Right now
I see a million miles
Feel like the holy child
And let the night keep rolling
Isn't it exciting? (what am I gonna do?)
Feels oh so inviting (just what you wanted to)
Is this what you wanted? (Mister Impossible)
No time for deciding (Mister Impossible)
Mister Impossible
Mister Impossible
Red sky
And now I see your eyes
It's gonna be alright
It's so electrifying
Right now, my mind is opened wide
My heart is satisfied
The light is overflowing
Isn't it exciting? (what am I gonna do?)
Feels oh so inviting (just what you wanted to)
Is this what you wanted? (Mister Impossible)
No time for deciding (Mister Impossible)
Mister Impossible
Mister Impossible
If I told you, you'd think I was crazy, yeah
I'm the sun and the moon and the stars
I'm the earth, I'm the water you walk on, yeah
I'm the sun and the moon and the stars
Mister Impossible

Glowing
All I needed was for time to pass away
All I needed was to pass the time away
But it still keeps going and going and going
So we still kept glowing, glowing, glowing, but no one came
All I needed was for light to reach the plane
And all, all I needed was you to find me on a wave
But it still keeps rolling and rolling and rolling
So we still kept glowing, glowing, glowing, but no one came
No one saved us
No one saved us
No one saved us
No one saved us
In your eyes, there's nothing there
Nothing there, I see nothing there
Wave goodbye, it's gone away
Say goodnight to your sunny days
In your eyes, there's nothing there
Nothing there, I see nothing there
Wave goodbye, it's gone away
Say goodnight to your sunny days

Gaunt Kids
Elvis, nature, king
Dumb make believe
Pay it, bought it, bang
Out my mind
Credit, awesome, player
Major league
Axes swinging, heartless
On my sleeve
You're on your way
I'm on your mind
You're on your way
It just takes time
You're on your way
I'm on your mind
You're on your way
It just (I'm out my mind)
Blondie, Kujo, Bookface
Comy Grone
Grinnin bullies, gaunt kid
On my own
Lightning, flashing, famous
Make the bed
I'm happy, homeless, helpless
Energy
You're on your way
I'm on your mind
You're on your way
It just takes time
You're on your way
I'm on your mind
You're on your way
It just (I'm out my mind)
Take it, cut it
Make it, print it
Sacred wallet
I don't even want it
Take it, cut it
Make it, print it
Sacred wallet
I don't even want it
Fourth of July, the fireworks you left behind, the sky is faded
I hoped you liked the credit cards I left behind the flowers faded
And I hate when you go, yeah, I hate when you go, 'cause my love keeps aging
I'm in the fire setting sun getting higher, getting higher
Elvis, nature, king
Dumb make believe
Pay it, bought it, bang
Out my mind

Ceremony
Hold me, I'm a miracle
Hold me, I'm a miracle
Faded
Fade in
Fade out
It's my favorite daydream
Where everybody knows me
Hang back
Hang back
Get past
So be good
Just have fun
Hang back
Hang back
Hang back
Hold me, I'm a miracle
Hold me, I'm a miracle
Falling in the swimming pool
Naked in the neon moon
Hang back
Hang back
Just laugh
Animate my lonely
Solo ceremony
Insomniac
Come back
(It's all for me)
