Lyrics

[Intro]
[Verse]
The salt crusts on the pane
I watch the falling rain
The wick begins to drain
I’m humming for the sane
My shadow starts to bend
Around the ocean’s end
No messages to send
No broken hearts to mend
[Pre-Chorus]
A cork pops in the dark
A tiny, glowing spark
A signature, a mark
Across the cosmic arc
I hold the brittle page
Within this iron cage
A ghost of every age
Beyond the water’s rage
[Hook]
I read the ink of ghosts
Along these jagged coasts
A thousand different hosts
To all my silent toasts
[Verse]
In one I’m wearing lace
In one I’ve lost my face
I’m winning every race
In some forgotten place
The harpsichord begins to play
To chase the ghosts of yesterday
I’m dancing in a frantic way
Until the sky turns neon grey
[Breakdown]
The tape is warping now
I break a silent vow
I don’t remember how
To make a final bow
The foghorn starts to scream
Inside a waking dream
Nothing is what it seems
In these magnetic beams
[Bridge]
Which version holds the key?
The one who’s wild and free?
Or this one by the sea?
Who is the real me?
The light is spinning fast
The future meets the past
A shadow that was cast
Is fading at the last
[Verse]
I fold the paper neat
The circuit is complete
The bitter and the sweet
Are sitting at my feet
I am the ghost, I am the light
I am the keeper of the night
No need to win the fight
Everything is finally right
[Outro]
