lyrics

Why won’t you look at me when I’m talking to you? You’re afraid to see the things that you don’t like, afraid to see the truth.

You were never good with tension, and you haven’t improved since then (Why have you come back again?) No I’ve got you all wrong, no I’ve got you all wrong. You were never gone. No you were never gone.

Apparitions overhead, let me go. No place to go to, to be alone.

How do you kill a ghost? How to kill a memory (Stuck inside my head) I’ve tried all the usual (Fired shots invisible) But you’re still in my head.

I bet you think that I was unaware I know you like to say that this is somehow fair. Well c’mon, c’mon, have some shame I know exactly who is who. You think that I don’t have a clue.

How do you kill a ghost? How do you kill a memory? you’re still in my head
