TALKING TO YOUR GHOST AGAIN

(Wake up)

Baby, this ain't enough

I told you once, just cope

But you drown it in your scotch

While you laugh like it's a joke

Lights low, shadows closing in

Fingers tracing hollow skin

Nights stretch far too long

I'm choking on where we've been

I'm soaked deeper than the rain

Drowning in your fading name

And it cuts me every time

When you call me like nothing happened

(Pretending we're still the same...)

(Are we still the same?)

Baby, this ain't enough

We were something, now we're dust

I'm still reaching through the dark

But you're giving up on us

Am I the only one

Trying to numb the pain?

Tell me, when it all burned down

Why I'm still the same

(Why I'm still the same...)

We had a real thing once

Now thunder's come and gone

And everything got washed away

Like it never meant a thing

Now there's nothing left to hold

Just the cold and fucking grim

In a world so blind and dead

I'm sinking from within

I was never taught to swim

Something hollow creeping in

Talking to your ghost again

Like you're somewhere in my skin

(But you're nowhere in between)

Baby, this ain't enough

We were something real once

I'm still reaching through the dark

But you're giving up on us

Am I the only one

Trying to numb the pain?

Tell me, when it all burned down

Why you're not the same

What else do you even want?

You felt like a dream

Now I'm screaming through the silence

But you never hear a thing

You wanna be a queen

But I'm chained beneath your throne

In a life that we created

I was always left alone

Baby, Let me die already

Say you never really cared

But I see it in your eyes

All the fear you never shared

(Go back to sleep...)

Now I'm talking to your ghost

In a body I don't own

Holding onto memories

That were never really sown

There's a silence in your voice

That still echoes through my veins

And a part of me still hopes

We could feel it all again

Deep inside my chest

There's a soul that never screams

Living inside your shadow

Never waking from this dream

Baby, this was never enough

We were fire, now we're ash

I'm still holding onto us

While you fade into the past

Am I the only one

Who still feels the flame?

Or did I lose myself

Just to take the blame?

Tell me, when it all burned down

Did you feel the same...

Or am I the only one

Still singing your name?

You said hell's where I belong

Now I'm standing at the gate

And the person that I was

Didn't make it through the flames

And it won't be very long

Till the real me is gone

And all that remains unburnt

Stands by your promise sworn

Baby, I wanna let you know

I was reaching up for heaven

Holding onto what we were

Now hell is where I stand

Forget me if you can

There's no other way

For us to feel the same

Or survive another day

And I'll whisper your name

If it keeps me half insane...

Maybe somewhere deep within

We're still the same...

(Wake up)

(You fucking insane)

Started as a poem at 2am, turned into something darker. Not sure if it's a song or a breakdown.
