Ghost Ships

When you passed through my fingertips
Your ghost has stayed with me ever since
Haunting me screaming out my name
Never letting me rest.

and so I drag these chains, with rusty scars you left me to bare
Pulling this dead weight, an anchor thats been keeping me here
Ive dragged you with me for far too long
Screaming my contempt for you in so many songs.

With every step i take, i feel the regret
Of all the wasted time and every moment spent
Your skeletons are banging on the closet again
begging to be let out, begging to speak of your sins
So i write it down and i scream out for them
To anything and anyone who will listen
I curse your name with every breath i take
I start to feel the strength to break these chains

You were an anchor tired around my waist
Pulling me under to the bottom of this lake
And into the darkness i watch you sink
Further and further away from me.

I'll never forget that blank stare on your face
When i told my love was misplaced
Just remember i was the one that left you for dead.
