Last Living Ghost
I want to peel back your skin and look at your bones
You are the last living ghost that's haunting me
Alone and empty, aloof and full of my wrack and ruin
Cobwebs and gossamer, skeletons longing for more
Shallow graves in your backyard
Our souls long for something more
Pressed together in the night
Dig as they may, they find no comfort here
Dry bones, the detritus of a life lived so cautiously
But you know how this story goes
You're just something that you wear
A pretty face and little more
Thin red lips to remind me of my sins, my sins
Shallow graves in your backyard
Our souls long for something more
Pressed together in the night
Dig as they may, they find no comfort here
Words without meaning
I am distrustful of the spaces between your words
With every breath, the dead they come calling
Crawling back and begging for more yeah
Shallow graves in your backyard
Our souls long for something more
Pressed together in the night
Dig as they may, they find no comfort here
You are the last living ghost that's haunting me
Alone and empty, aloof and full of my wrack and ruin
Cobwebs and gossamer, skeletons longing for more
Shallow graves in your backyard
Our souls long for something more
Pressed together in the night
Dig as they may, they find no comfort here
Dry bones, the detritus of a life lived so cautiously
But you know how this story goes
You're just something that you wear
A pretty face and little more
Thin red lips to remind me of my sins, my sins
Shallow graves in your backyard
Our souls long for something more
Pressed together in the night
Dig as they may, they find no comfort here
Words without meaning
I am distrustful of the spaces between your words
With every breath, the dead they come calling
Crawling back and begging for more yeah
Shallow graves in your backyard
Our souls long for something more
Pressed together in the night
Dig as they may, they find no comfort here
