Текст пісні
At my grandfather's seaside home
Is where the ghosts live, I know it
I took the air there, and broke it
It seems like it cursed every word that was spoken
It was impending, like how right now I feel
How you caught up to me
When I packed my things and headed west
I run with the wind on my back, it feels real
And erases all of the numbness I had in my chest
It feels like something's ending
It feels like something's building up
A part of me wants to analyze every bit of you
And see something so familiar
Your gaze has me dumb, but it cares and I know it
I wonder all about your opinions on truth and devotion
But my spirit is lying, it fabricates things
It creates a fantasy, tugs on the strings
And it turns into dust when you walk away swiftly
There's a fading imprint of where you used to be
A mirror to the past greets me with every mistake
A fork in the road with every choice that I make
Every passing glance featuring your face
Distills me, and thrills me, and fills me with pain
But there, like a mantra, I chanted your name
My routine, before I sleep, and right away when I wake
It was hugging me tight, it was strong and brave
But with all my deeds done I was naked on display
Well, tonight when time's just freezin'
And it will not let up soon
I've got to breathe the fresh air
And escape this dusty room
Well, not long ago the tears would fall
From the ballerinas and the jesters
But there's a pain, its fist clamped on my heart
And it sits and festers
I felt so lifeless, slumped down in my seat
I was a corpse, lacking lifeforce
It was drained from me
Now, now, now
You slipped right from my grip as it was tightest
But what's meant to be will be, I know I cannot fight it
I knitted you a song or two, but I doubt you'll ever hear
I smirk and scoff my way through knowing that you'll
