Fleurs Captives

[Verse 1]

Press you in the pages of a hardcover book

To dry like flowers and weeds

Peel your petals off and slowly pull them apart

To wrap in my bed sheets

To take you with me while I drift off to sleep

And assemble you inside of my dreams

On a soiled mattress, we drift to the attic

Where the dust collects on your long eyelashes

[Chorus]

They say open up the window

And stand in the sunshine

But you hide in the shadows

'Cause the light goes right through you

You're a ghost, you're a ghost

You're a ghost, you're a ghost of my mind

You're a ghost, you're a ghost

You're a ghost, you're a ghost of my mind

[Verse 2]

We hide in the places where mice make their holes

Our skin getting cold under moth-eaten clothes

I feel my lips turn blue, I'd do anything

To be held by you through the night

The doors are all closed, we peer through keyholes

Tucked away in a place where flowers can't grow

Your skin turns to dust in my hands

And I'm left holding onto a pile of sand

[Chorus]

They say open up the window

And stand in the sunshine

But you hide in the shadows

'Cause the light goes right through you

You're a ghost, you're a ghost

You're a ghost, you're a ghost of my mind

You're a ghost, you're a ghost

You're a ghost, you're a ghost of my mind

[Chorus]

And they say open up the window

And stand in the sunshine

But you stay in the shadows

'Cause the light goes right through you

You're a ghost, you're a ghost

You're a ghost, you're a ghost, you're a ghost
