Every day is the same charade
Weary ghosts frequenting their favorite haunts
We're all tired but no one ever moves
(No effort is made until we forget and fade away)
I always found it strange how you found comfort
When I spoke in foreign tongue

What do you want from me that you cannot say?
What do you want from me that I cannot do?

And my words collapsed like the lungs you've overused
For I've wasted my best fleeting hopes, but they weren't you
I keep my eyes firmly closed, hoping I won't see your face
But you are everywhere a shadow, and I am so alone
I am so alone, I am so alone
(But what are ghosts except memories we can't let go?)

Today I am what I never was, I am truly alone
Tomorrow I'll be what I wish I were today, I won't be afraid anymore
