ghost

Caught on a ledge
Between being dead
And those who love me most

Roll out of bed
Call all my friends
Let's all raise a toast

Everyone says I'm out of my head but
I already know

Girl dressed in red
Says we connect
But I'm just a ghost

I'm a shadow all alone without a soul
Where my heart should be's an empty hole

You can look and see right through my skin and bones
Stare into my eyes but no one's home

I look human but I'm not, don't get too close
I know I'm a lot, I won't impose

When I try to hold it in, I know it shows
Floating in the wind, the highs and lows

Heart stops, under pressure
Hard fought, but however
Time gets hard to measure
I wish I could change the weather

I try feeling pleasure
This can't last forever
Painting pictures, writing letters
Nothings making me feel better

In all my endeavors
I'm my own oppressor
Make myself feel lesser
But I guess that it's whatever

Past ties have been severed
Baptized in the ether
Time to pull myself together
I'ma make it now or never

I'm a shadow all alone without a soul
Where my heart should be's an empty hole

You can look and see right through my skin and bones
Stare into my eyes but no one's home

I look human but I'm not, don't get too close
I know I'm a lot, I won't impose

When I try to hold it in, I know it shows
Floating in the wind, the highs and lows
