[non_reality]

Theres a letter on my desktop that I dug out of the drawer
The first truce we ever came to in our adolescent war
And I believe I feel your fever in the warm air through the screen
You come regular as seasons, shadowing my dreams

Now this hole that overthrows me just gets deeper every day
There's no hope of climbing out now that I'm so far down
And I guess thats how you started, like a pinprick to my heart
But at this point you rush right through me and I start to drown

Now there's not enough room in this world for my pain
When signals cross and love gets lost, the time pass makes it plain
But of all my demon spirits I need you the most
Im in love with your ghost

Dark and dangerous like a secret that gets whispered in a hush
When I wake, the things I dreamt about you last night make me blush
When you kiss me like a lover, then you sting me like a viper
I just follow to the river and play your memory like a piper

And I feel it like a sickness, how this love is killing me
But I'd walk into the fingers of your fire willingly
I dance the edge of sanity and I've never been this close
In love with a ghost...

Now I see your face before me and I would launch a thousand ships
To bring your heart back to my island as the sand beneath me slips
I still burn up in your presence, and I know now how it feels
To be weakened like Achilles with you always at my heels

And my bitter pill to swallow is the silence that I keep
It poisons me, I get swim free, your river is too deep
Though I'm baptized by your touch, I am no worse than most
I'm just in love with your ghost
All I have left is your ghost

You'll be shadowing my dreams, I know
I'm in love with your ghost..........
