Chasing The Ghost

The winds are whispering secrets
The shadows move alone
The figure in the doorway
Of the house I called a home
But she’s long dead and gone
Letters burned and heroes dead
Hell bound souls we can’t buy back
Breaking hearts to break these chains
And life is not the same
I don’t know who’s to blame

And in this absence, we all chase the ghost
Of yesterday’s promise and secret most hopes
Our memories, a novel of crimes
So chase till we all lose our minds

His eyes like cyan fire
Her hair, December dark
The corpse of years devoured
It rots inside our hearts
Cold and dead and dark
Crimson red and gold we bled
Born to die and bring more death
You doomed us both or was that me?
Can my soul be redeemed?
Can I take you home with me?

And in this absence, we all chase the ghost
Of yesterday’s promise and secret most hopes
Our memories, a novel of crimes
So chase till we all lose our minds

Ever we’re running, pursuit of the gone
There’s ghosts in our heads and there’s ghosts in this song
In mourning
And finding no peace
So give back what you took from me
And in this absence, we all chase the ghost
(Break this fragile ego)
Of yesterday’s promise and secret most hopes
(I can’t survive myself)
Our memories, a novel of crimes
(The ghost still has us running)
So chase till we all lose our minds
(Impossible to find)
