Silver Nitrate Ghost

[Intro]
[Verse]
The light cuts through the dust
In a world of oil and rust
I watch the shadows play
Until the break of day
I hide a paper trace
In this hollow, holy space
[Break]
(Spoken: The reel spins clockwise)
(Spoken: The ghost is otherwise)
[Pre-Chorus]
Rain streaks the glass
Watching hours pass
You sit in row four
I wait behind the door
[Chorus]
Flicker in the dark
Catch a dying spark
I don't know your name
It's always just the same
We are moving slow
In the projector glow
[Post-Chorus]
Silver nitrate ghost
The one I love the most
Silver nitrate ghost
The one I love the most
[Verse]
Thirty-five millimeter blue
Every frame belongs to you
The light is shining through
A dream that we pursue
I tuck the ink inside
With nowhere left to hide
The shutter beats like a heart
Tearing the silence apart
[Break]
(Spoken: Nothing to decide)
(Spoken: Nowhere left to hide)
[Pre-Chorus]
The city starts to bleed
You’re the only thing I need
The celluloid is thin
Let the cold light in
[Chorus]
Flicker in the dark
Catch a dying spark
I don't know your name
It's always just the same
We are moving slow
In the projector glow
[Bridge]
The colors start to fade
In this mechanical parade
I’m reaching through the screen
To the places we have been
Can you hear the hum?
Until the morning has come
Don't let the image break
For a quiet romantic's sake
[Solo]
[Chorus]
Flicker in the dark
Catch a dying spark
I don't know your name
It's always just the same
We are moving slow
In the projector glow
[Post-Chorus]
Silver nitrate ghost
The one I love the most
Silver nitrate ghost
The one I love the most
[Outro]
