Starlight Cities Ghosts
You know she’s been here before
And she’ll accept
The punishment she keeps in waiting
I’m not about to walk outside these lines
There are no reasons
And we’re not even sleeping right
My god is she breathing anymore?
There’s something right above her bed
Beside it I can hear her screaming
You’ll never show me what you need
And I don’t owe you anything
(Is this devotion to emotion?)
The time to act just passed me by
And you’re not even alive
But I won’t open up my bed
To these ghosts inside your head
Am I irrelevant immaculate and cold
All wrapped into one?
It’s like the distance
between trusting me and nothing
How will I ever mean a thing to you?
You’ll never show me what you need
And I don’t owe you anything
(Is this devotion to emotion?)
The time to act just passed me by
And you’re not even alive
But I won’t open up my bed
To these ghosts inside your head
But I can’t walk away from you
Turn your body beneath me
Just for now you’ll let me take control
Am I a remedy?
It’s killing me
Uneasy ending
You don’t know what you’ve been taking
When you sleep I feel you shaking
But you’re not crazy babe
What do you expect from someone
Insecure and selfish like me?
I’m watching everything
Wake up wake up
To these ghosts inside your head
To these ghosts inside you
