lyrics

Here in the corner, reticent as can be
I plan my divulgence, contingent on what they see
Oh, you, my undertaker
You, my avatar
You hold the romance, regardless of who they are

And no word can be erased
My ghost will be in space
Not in the ground

On a listless night, I can't shut you down
Or wield a light more suitably condoned
But these moors of solitude are all abound
With all the "Once upon a times" I've overgrown

There came the answer, the call to a prayer at bay
Take your leave of the wrong lights, the stratagems of decay
But who will listen to me?
Who, who knows I'm there?
Where are the totems? Combatants of my despair?

And no word can be erased
My ghost will be in space
Not in the ground

On a listless night, I can't shut you down
Or wield a light more suitably condoned
But these moors of solitude are all abound
With all the "Once upon a times" I've overgrown

For when I finally convince myself to go
And step outside and wander away
It's just as lonely now as when my eyes were closed
How can I leave your glow to face another day?
How can I leave your glow to face another day?
