A Ghost In The Arcade

What if your heart
is your only home
you can go around
maybe you won't go around
And if your heart
is your only home
you can go around
maybe you won't go around
I watch you walk
and you turn into yourself
and extend into shadows
like the days
Hey, hey, hey alibi
let me shout out your name
there's a ghost in the arcade
there's a ghost in the arcade
Hey alibi
let me shout out your name
to explore exactly why
we've thrown our lives away
Don't wonder why I came
I still remain
And you wear your badge of pride
with shame
and I still remain
