You, A Phantom Still Lyrics

Will you ever see this blood

Of children sticking in your mud?

Observing their world going insane

Once lost but they'll be strong

Again

Take the letters down

From your old bookshelf

Lurking photographs

All the desperate notes

Peel your own image from the mirror

Sit down by my side

Tell me what I've done

Try to change your mind

Once you've been my one

See with what simplicity we could love

Wallow in memories

We stood by a pond that winter day

And a few leaves lay on the sod

They had fallen from an ash

There was no sound, just you

Just you and me talking

And then four words

Played between us, still whispering

Let us be one

Were I alone,

The world itself would be a desert to me

Thorns devour

And beasts annoy

And my guilt terrify me

The earth a wilderness

And me in solitude

Her:

You are alone

But most upon melancholy

Because void of you

Will you ever see this blood

Of children sticking in your mud?

Observing the dark league of the sun

Once loved but now you're gone away

Life and love must be more than this

We stood by a pond that winter day

And a few leaves lay on the sod

They had fallen from an ash

There was no sound, just you

Just you and me dreaming

And then four words

Played between us, whispering

Let us be one

I don't know how the things

Could end the way they did

Her:

I am alone,

And now the world itself is a desert to me

Thorns devour

And beasts annoy

And your guilt is justified

I'm a human wilderness in solitude

A subject unto storms

Because void of you

Help me

(... and I step into my heart and meet

The demon singing small

Who would like to shout and whistle

In the streets and squelch the passers

Flat against the wall...

'Cause I'm balancing above an ocean

Of expectations, fears and human stiffness

You don't feel the yearning of speech,

Those patterns of my dreams,

The unseen genius of the wood or

The urgency of courageous reason

Will you ever feel?

Will I ever break the spell?

Am I alone?

I don't know... to seem the stranger

Falls my lot, escapist of your day,

Shadow of the saddest truth:

Your life is an almighty lie!

Love, a subject of

The mere diurnal grind

Lying upon the ground

Feeding upon roots

Love, a subject of

Our deepest fear

All things desolate

Like a tragic mask)
