"Ghost" lyrics

"Ghost"

Faceless we've become
Hopin' that hope is enough
As the tyranny begins
We await the flood
Sacrifices sung
In verses that roll off the tongue
When the symphony begins
Who is left to sing along?

Our reflections don't look the same
There's somethin' different
I hope this precious balancing act
Is worth the pain

They sanction all the young
Infecting futures to come
Find their beds and watch 'em burn
Starting fires one by one

There's always a "wasn't meant"
Devising a "wasn't planned"
And still, we feel nothin'
Like every other day

Our reflections don't look the same
There's somethin' different
Like a distant ghost in headlights
We slowly fade away

Stay with me a while
Stay with me
Only for a moment
We'll pretend
That everything's okay
Like every other day

I wanna know it's all okay
These days, it's hard to say
Think I'll take my leave
And run away forever
If it's all the same to you
When it's knockin' at your door
So loud, you can't ignore
Flee the lion's den
And leave it all forever
If it's all the same to you

There's always a "wasn't meant"
Devising a "wasn't planned"
And still, we feel nothin'
Like every other day
Like every other day

Forget the truth, preserve the evidence
It takes a fool to deny what is so evident
Stare at the blackest sun
See what we've all become
'Cause we don't feel nothing
Like every other day
Like every other day
Like every other day
(Like every other day)
Like every other day
