The Ghost You Gave To Me

Tidal controls
Warping the poles
Quaking
Drawn back the blanket of faith
To the muscle of soul
Brightness unfolds
Breaking
The lion is stirring awake

By the blood and the bone
I should’ve known
By the chemical scars in your eyes
For the time slowed to still
And in for the kill
And on to dissolve your disguise

Emanating epicenter
Brutal waves
Born to vapors clung
Last gasp escapes your lung
Universe
Is on the tip of your bitter tongue

(oh) i want to thank you for
The ghost you gave to me
(oh) no longer i’m
Alone in my
Invisibility

Just an empty armor in the dark

Raising spires to the sky
Drawn to the sun
But your feet have been
Screwed to the floor
For the poison on your lips
As i watch your eyes eclipse
And the vapor escapes out the door

Emanating echo fading
It’s a tricky trail to follow
Choosing red over choosing blue
It’s a bitter pill to swallow

(oh) i want to thank you for
The ghost you gave to me
(oh) and for the secret things
That no one else can see
(oh) i want to thank you for
The ghost you gave to me
(oh) no longer i’m
Alone in my
Invisibility

A secret chamber in your heart
An empty armor
For the tidal controls
Warping the poles
Quaking
Drawn back the blanket of faith
To the muscle of soul
Brightness unfolds
Breaking
The lion is stirring to wake

(oh) i want to thank you for
The ghost you gave to me
(oh) and for the secret things
That no one else can see (no one else can see, oh)
(oh) i want to thank you for
The ghost you gave to me
(thank you for the ghost)
(oh) alone in my
Invisibility

A secret chamber in your heart
An empty armor
In the dark
