I'm A Ghost Of Twilight

Awake to the cracking of bones

To the scratching of throats

Wake to every boy and girl

Every heart that feels a swell

It's oh so lovely when you look at it just right

It's also stabbing me to sleep

Needles long into the night

So spend it in bed

Talk can only leave one thing

I'm a ghost of twilight

Honey, even I know day

With one foot treading sweet rapture

And one foot in the grave

Asleep to the creaks and the groans

To the sounds of the sins

Asleep to all the promises

Of the better days ahead

I want so much to keep this precious thing from harm

Then there's a part of me that wants to hold it lifeless in my arms

'Kuz I got this chill in my bones

And the warmth on my face

The warmth on my face

I'm a ghost of twilight, honey

Even I know day

With one foot treadin sweet rapture

And one foot in the grave

Death before my soul

And closer every day

The ghosts of twilight call

So now I'm joining them

I slept with *spit that a sound

A corpse in my arms

Soon I weakened and

I drank in death *so life went out

And summer, a virgin

In the morning

'Kuz I got this chill in my bones

And the warmth on my face

The warmth on my face

I'm a ghost of twilight, honey

Even I know day

With one foot treadin sweet rapture

And one foot in the grave
