lyrics

People are moving
In every direction
I stare at them
Get zero feedback

Suddenly someone
Trips on the sidewalk
I brace for impact
But she meets the floor

Look at my hands
Transparent and vague
I wail in panic
As I realize
My life, this body
I cherish the most
Lost in the day
I woke up a ghost

Oh to recall
All that I missed
Your skin touching mine
My hands feeling yours

Pain hunger stress
And even headaches
I'll miss it all
Now my mind is gone

I feel something near
Cold breeze in July
Why can't you hear me?
This cold is so weird
I feel something near
Why can't you hear me

All my complaints
Insignificant
My life was great
When I had a voice

All my mistakes
so significant
My life was great
When I had a choice

Hope that soon I'll be gone
and complete again
All the battles we've lost
flashing through my eyes

And soon I'll become
one with the air
So weightless and free
I'll let go and rest
So alone, tonight
Moonlight shining through
I need help
Help me ...
What is happening?
What is happening?

How did I get here
I try to rewind
But everything seems
So ordinary
I am a breeze
In everyone's eyes
Try as I might
My screams just aren't there

And you call yourself a ghost
Trapped inside a broken home
And you call yourself a ghost
Trapped inside a broken home
And you call yourself a ghost
Trapped inside a broken home

People are moving
In every direction
