about

A song about being haunted by someone's absence.

lyrics

Close my eyes
I'm flooded by the memory of your face
I reach out
The image disappears without a trace

All that's left
Is hundereds of miles of empty air
Haunted by
The ghost of someone never really there

Spend my nights
Searching for someone to call a lover
Can't escape
This truth I tried so hard not to discover

Wish I knew
Why you have to be so beyond compare
Haunted by
The ghost of someone never really there

I try to break these chains
But my skin has grown around
Infected and neglected, rejected
Left to rot here, bound

Bound to burn
Consumed by this insane, drunken desire
Choking on
The ashes and the flames of fickle fire

Never learned
The lesson that would keep me from despair
Haunted by
The ghost of someone never really there

Try to run
But every road just brings me back to here
Haunted by
The ghost of someone never really there
