lyrics

It's a tiny little world you swallow just to keep you whole.
and I've felt your presence before
In another life I've known your soul.
And I'm up in the morning shivering in the cold.
When her eyes meet the dusk a smile will unfold.

Cause the lights they're all fleeing
My friends are disappearing
Confusions got me delirious
But I'll do my best to laugh.
I'll do my best to laugh.

I waste the day away with silent films and Russian roulette.
My head is at play, cause I'm missing people I have never met.
And if you say I'm not alone then why do I feel so lonely?
There was never really a home
It was all imaginary

It's a place that don't exist
So I don't understand what I miss
Maybe a dream I'm convinced
Will haunt me again one day.
Will reach me again one day.

In this old abandoned place familiar faces swarm me.
Things that I should've thrown away, and left all behind me.
But I'm still the same kid you knew those years ago
With a sad frame of mind and a poets heart
I'm just dressed in bigger clothes.

And I still love you the most
Like the withering rose
That you keep locked and kept closed
My perfect little ghost.
My perfect little ghost.

Cause the lights they're all fleeing
My friends are disappearing
Confusions got me delirious
But I'll do my best to laugh.
I'll do my best to laugh.
