GloryHole - Wraith Lyrics

I'm dying to forget
That I'm dying all alone
I'm searching for the torch
That helps me light my way back home
I see you in my dreams
In effigy it seems
I'm drunk enough
To sleep or make a mess of everything
I hear you creeping in
Glass bones and paper skin
Your silhouette's enough to haunt me still
And stop the spin
Do I ever cross your mind
'Cause you're burrowed deep in mine
Just like cicadas in the ground
You wait to sing in time

You manifest in me
Your presence never leaves
I feel you as you're surely letting go of everything
I'm singing for a ghost
I guess that's letting go
I'll exorcise the demons in my head
That I still host

So before I let you go
I thought I'd let you know
I'm sorry that I made you stay
It was irresponsible
I'm trying to reset
And live with the regret
That I let you walk away to breathe
While I can't catch my breath
I'm stuck in a plateau
But you have room enough to grow
And nourish all your life
Forget the past that you've outgrown
The wraith of you exists
In my words and in my pen
No matter what I do
I just can't write you out of them

I'm singing to a ghost
The one that I loved most
I'll exorcise the demons in my head
That I still host
