500 Years

I opened my eyes as sunlight broke over the marsh

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

Caught in a storm drain and into a gutter

I had no memory of who I was

500 years I was a ghost for you

500 years I was lost for you

There's nothing left of me

I can't move on for 500 years

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

500 years I was a ghost for you

500 years I was lost for you

There's nothing left of me

I can't move on for 500 years

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

500 years I was a ghost for you

500 years I was lost for you

There's nothing left of me

I can't move on for 500 years
