It starts with a murmur or cry
For something that's not there
And I keep moving forwards
Breathing deep this silent air
I will feel a ghost tonight
It sucks the breath of my life
Spits it back, sharpens the knife
And again I feel alone tonight
Doesn't matter what's in my heart
Doesn't matter what's buried deep
I can only dream perfection
And the life that's only in my sleep
Real life isn't what was promised
Real life isn't what I need
And again I'm alone tonight
My head falls in my hands
I will feel a ghost tonight
It sucks the breath of my life
Spits it back, sharpens the knife
And again I feel alone tonight
The life that's only
The life that's only
The life that's only
The life that's only in my sleep
