lyrics

Every now and again
The ghosts stop pretending
They've gone to the nowhere but we seem to be the everything
The pavement you walk on
You started floating to the sun
They've kept you down
Said you were not for that route
But clouds began to fill your mind
You know what you've wanted to find
Be kind. And the ghosts have taken flight
The sun is too bright. Why?
You've walked through the doorway
The wooden cracks have begun to say
They said don't fall away. Dont fall away
And they say, they say.
A dream state the body is in
And the flesh and bone will win
What a realistic way you put it

Tell me why I believe you.
You told the truth yet your spirit hasn't let you tell it what to do.
Blinded by this fact
Describe the ways youd like him to act
And reaction, it takes control.
Like the insects that poison your soul.

Feels like this home
It isn't ours.
We just live here.
No days
No new ways
It's the same old case.
