Ghost In Light

Saw you today – Dead man breathing
Flesh stretched over bone
Couldn’t save you
Did you see me slowly come undone?

Saw you today – Shell of a man
Cradling your fear
Couldn’t face you – Did you see me?
Turn and disappear

The dreams of a dying man lay broken at your feet
Falling again and again – your heart can never be complete
The ghost of a living man now seared into my eyes
Recalling again and again – all the years, all the lies

Saw you today – Ghost in light
One foot in the day
Couldn’t face you – Did you see me?
Turn and walk away
Did you see me?
Turn and walk away

The dreams of a dying man lay broken at your feet
Falling again and again – your heart can never be complete
The ghost of a living man now seared into my eyes
Recalling again and again – all the years, all the lies

There are some things you can never…
Replace…
Erase…

I want to crawl down to your grave
Hold you and whisper “it’s okay”
But it’s not

Ghost in light

All the lies…
