Ghost of Yesterday

There is far more to a soul than it's vessel

Or so they say

But I must play the role for which I'm chosen

Facing judgement for all that I have made

I would rather lose myself 'neath these watercolour skies

And wander till I forget my name

She is an illusion, a ghost, but I don't mind at all

I'll dance with the ghost of yesterday

Everyday it seems I'm chasing my redemption

For a life I threw away

And had I known, I wouldn't waste a second

But this is now, and now is far too late

I would rather lose myself 'neath these watercolour skies

And wander till I forget my name

She is an illusion, a ghost, but I don't mind at all

I'll dance with the ghost of yesterday

Am I awake?

Or am I dreaming?

Day bleeds into night, bleeds into day

This body aches

But they're the ones screaming

This is who we are, there's no escape

I would rather lose myself 'neath these watercolour skies

And wander till I forget my name

She is an illusion, a ghost, but I don't mind at all

I'll dance with the ghost of yesterday
