These ghostlines leading nowhere
To the static in my head
Ghostlines, a fading heat sign
To a heart bled away
Oh I tried to become someone
Who didn't need to cry
Now I'm drowning in these unseen tears
Shed by ghosts beneath my eyes
I'm living in this ghost town
Of stories long since past
Littered in this ghost town
By an end that moved on
Oh I tried to become your possession
Carried past goodbyes
Still I'm haunted by the unsaid words
Sung extinct before their time
All this phantom time
Shadows of desire
Languishing lines
That light leaves behind
Am I your phantom limb
Left behind?
Remembrance is a specter
Abundance fossilized
The vigil my desert body keeps
For the memory of your sea
Oh I tried to release my ravished needs
From the bondage of desire
Still I'm starving for your shaded kiss
Left parched upon my lips
All this phantom time
Shadows of desire
Languishing lines
That light leaves behind
You're my phantom limb
Left behind
Left behind
All my love left treading numb
Left to search
My invisible face
In your mirror
Oh I'm here
I'm still here
I'm still here
Call me from these shrouded years
Name the ghost you've denied
The ghost you've denied
The ghost I've become
All this phantom time
Shadows of desire
Languishing lines
That light leaves behind
A phantom limb
Left behind
These ghostlines leading nowhere....
