500 Years

[Verse 1]

I opened my eyes as sunlight broke over the marsh

My lungs were filled with sulphur; I was all washed up

Crawled up a storm drain and into a gutter

I had no memory of who I was

[Chorus]

Five-hundred years, I was a ghost for you

Five-hundred years, I was lost for you

There's nothing left of me

I can't move on for 500 years

Five-hundred years

[Verse 2]

I followed coquina sidewalks down into the city

The palm rats danced on the telephone wires hanging up above me

I knew that his black eyes were watching on me

I could feel the heat of the flames reaching out for me

[Bridge]

Somewhere in the cemetery

I know my corpse is rotting

With a dead heart in my chest

And not a draw left to my breath

Sometimes it feels like I have always been here

Sometimes it feels like I will never leave

[Chorus]
