lyrics

Writing on a brand new page
smudged with water.
Once-straight lines all mixed and faded
together.

From the depths no one can hear you.
From your own cell, no one will try.
Decrees of love and satisfaction
will echo back from a fortress on high.


Somewhere, somehow, still- someone is waiting,
drenched in water.
Common sense and fits of longing
bleed together.

On the wall, the words are written:
"Run now, while you still can."
Yet, somewhere still, a moth is burning
Ending up where it began.

And I may see your ghost... but it is kind, and dishonest.

Far away, they can hear you-
the constant beating of a heart.
Footsteps echo in the distance
and they can't tell the two apart.

And I may see your ghost...
