Ghost Limbs

Wish I could fall asleep quick like you do Bury my bones in my bed I'd bet it twice that you dream of me too Figurines dance in your head

A character with a mouth just like yours Came to me in your stead And he spoke so sweetly, I almost thought you were with me And now I lay that person to rest

I walk in perfect circles, but you are nowhere Reaching for arms and legs, my fingers in the cold air You were my one and only, my twin but not kin Reaching for arms and legs, but all you left were ghost limbs

I sit in silence and sip bitterness Even the gutless spin All of the gold things will stay alive infinitely This was too silver to live

And we stood inside with our cheeks pressed to glass Watched as the sky collapsed Wasn't it you who told me callow hearts were meant for folding? As I watched you break in half

I walk in perfect circles, but you are nowhere Reaching for arms and legs, my fingers in the cold air You were my one and only, my twin but not kin Reaching for arms and legs, but all you left were ghost limbs

I walk in perfect circles, but you are nowhere Reaching for arms and legs, my fingers in the cold air You were my one and only, my twin but not kin Reaching for arms and legs, but all you left were ghost limbs
