Ghosts & Memories

[Verse 1]
In a sorrowful and saddened tone
The silence reminds me I am alone
Sprawled across the floor in the dark
The only thing keeping me awake is the spark

From beneath the door, a line of light
The sound of tears and a painful fight
I hear you laugh, I hear me cry
There isn’t even a last goodbye

[Chorus]
I am the ghost of what I once was
Left for dead and alone, and only because
Of the machine that left her in pain
That same machine that drove me insane

[Verse 2]
Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, stop
What was on bottom is now on top
I’m sitting here wondering if she’s okay
But even when I know, I have nothing to say

Minutes turn to hours, lost in radio waves
It’s been a while, but she likes how he behaves
And he’s smiling like he always has
Still lost like an emotional spaz

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Now he’s back at the start, with a pen in his hand
Acting like he’s back in la-la land
Writing about his usual theme
Unsure if the feeling is less extreme

Fading into the world around me
I’m sitting and listening for the key
I’m sitting here listening to her unearthly chants
While, out of my ears, floats out my last chance
