lyrics

EVERY GHOST
------------------

I saw you yesterday
For the first time in two months
You were gentle but seething
Your velvet backhand and your fronts
So distant and different
And not just your clothes and your hair
Now it's diabolique
When we speak we destruct and despair

But I miss the drug and misery of holding you at night
The tragic melancomedy of feigning it was all right
But I hope hope will cut through
To a girl I never really knew
You run away with every ghost
That's haunting you

I never meant
To burn down like a cheap cigarette
It was subtle but brutal
We both ran out of blood to let
But props to your point
That it's pointless to point and accuse
I'm right and you're right
And that's that and there's nothing to lose

But I miss the camaraderie the dreams we drifted via
Or perhaps it isn't us I miss but merely the idea
But I hope hope will cut through
To a girl I only thought I knew
You run away with every ghost
That's haunting you

Every day a bridge to cross
To one side peace and one chaos
A free fall into love and loss

And I hope love will come true
And one day we both know what to do
We'll run away from every ghost
Get away from every ghost
Hide away from every ghost
Do away with every ghost
