You must be a ghost Reminds me of times gone by We wait for a storm To cleanse out mistakes But slowly I begin to realise That nothing is ever the same As our bodies decline They try to bleed hope from mine You must be a ghost To shine so bright They try to bleed hope from mine You shine so bright I’m starting a permanence A monument to a different world Where we don’t run away from loss But now lean into love Shifting our narratives We’re building a new home For once we will have won You must be a ghost I’m not saying that this isn’t enough But we’ve not been working for oh so very long When you said that the cloud looks just like an island You came and you went Another shadow for me to collect The words that I said ‘Don't worry, the world keeps on turning’ I never witnessed Because you never left Your body, the sun I cannot see clearly When you are just a ghost This wasting, this cancer From winter to summer Alone I can answer Can realise my guilt I am destroyer of worlds I am the eye of the storm And the link in the chain For once I can see everything I am born and I will die But for now we are in-between You must be a ghost

From the moment I first saw you I knew this was the end We’re finding our innocence With stories that don’t exist To be found To be set free The wasted days We’ll find our way It breaks my heart To see you this way To care so much about someone Who doesn’t care about themselves You only see the end Well I see you everyday And I refuse to give up You’re not the only one in pain It takes some time To feel safe But it doesn’t know And it can’t be controlled We’re not safe in our minds We’re not safe in our hearts It breaks my heart to see you this way

What did you say? My memory In the meantime Not what once it was It’s not the same It seems so easy To explain To those that don’t believe No! At once my eyes deceive me What did you say? I can’t relate I can’t conclude I can’t hear anything you did not say What would it take? To light a match Jump over this fire I would do just that If it meant Meant anything at all To feel the flames Licking at my feet And so it’s on and on and on and on It’s on and on I’d walk along broken glass Just to see your face What more can I provide? My feet all crushed in wounds A couple of winters ago We went to meet your parents for the weekend The train left early and you slept most of the way I read a book but could barely concentrate Looking out of the window Fields as far as the eye could see And for a brief moment the forward momentum Was the happiest I will ever be No past, no present (Only future) The subtle promise of a better day (Only you) Our history, our mistakes (Only future) The before and the forever afters (Only you) And the same sound keeps rolling around in my head That fateful memory that I wish I could forget It was a mistake It was a mistake It was a mistake And all the while it’s said and done In violence You trace the lines across my back In silence I’d walk along broken glass Just to see your face What more can I provide? My feet all crushed in wounds And as the saying goes We all love what we regret I’m not sure that’s true But I guess they had it right When all the while It’s said and done You trace the lines across my back It’s not the same It’s never easy To explain to those that don’t believe (And the same sound just keeps rolling) What I said that day It isn’t what I meant I left you crying at your desk I am so torn What would it take? To light a match And jump over this fire I would do just that You are so optimistic What can I say? It’s not the same It seems so easy Into the unknown No past, no present Only future
