Ghost Town
~Adam Lambert Lyrics

Died last night in my dreams
I experienced death in my dream last night

Walking the streets
I was walking on the streets of a particular area

Of some old ghost town
The place I was in, seemed deserted and abandoned, like a ghost town

I tried to believe
I made an attempt to trust in something

In God and James Dean
I looked up to God and the actor James Dean for guidance and inspiration

But Hollywood sold out
But the glitz and superficiality of Hollywood have taken over

Saw all of the saints
I witnessed all the virtuous people around me

Lock up the gates
They barricaded themselves from me, not allowing me to connect with them

I could not enter
I was forbidden to access what I was yearning for

Walked into the flames
I took a dangerous risk by going towards what could harm me

Called out your name
I cried your name for help, personifying my search for love

But there was no answer
But my calls went unheard and unanswered

And now I know my heart is a ghost town
Now I realize that I am emotionally empty and alone

My heart is a ghost town
I don't feel anything in my heart

All the machines
All the systems to which I looked for support and motivation

Had been disconnected
Had been shut down and are no longer operable

Time was thrown at the wind
I lost track of time and didn't know which way I was headed

And all of my friends
I've lost touch with all my friends, they don't understand me anymore

Had been disaffected
They're demotivated and no longer have the energy to lift me up

Now, I'm searching for trust
Currently, I'm on a quest to find someone or something that can support me and help me trust myself again

In a city of rust
But my search has led me to a place that has lost its shine and beauty, it's outdated and rusty

A city of vampires
I am getting drained by something/someone that's sucking away all my energy

Tonight, Elvis is dead
People I looked up to or respected have become irrelevant or obsolete

And everyone's spread
Everyone I know has moved on with their lives and left me behind

And love is a satire
My beliefs about love have become an ironic expression

There's no one left in the world
I feel like I am the only one in the world

I'm gunslingin'
I am ready to fight back and take on anything that comes my way

Don't give a fuck if I go down, down, down
I am at my lowest point and don't care about the consequences of my actions anymore

I got a voice in my head that keeps singing
My own thoughts are playing in my head, keeping me company

Oh, my heart is a ghost town
I am empty inside, like a ghost town

My heart is a ghost town
I am emotionally vulnerable and empty inside

Said, my heart
My heart is telling me, that it's a ghost town

My heart is a ghost town
I am alone and empty inside
