lyrics

In the red field where I slumbered, under an ocean of skies
I saw the ghosts of my memories through a thick fog of goodbyes
Each in symbolic disguise
I followed them into the woods, where all the young ravers corralled
To marry their hands with the branches coming alive with the crowd
And the silence was never so loud

But I had nearly broken the ghost in the machine
I had to walk through darkness to see what I have seen

I followed the ghosts to their homes and drank all the spirits in sight
Painted our histories with smoke and strokes of a blue, lunar light
Ghost ships that pass in the night

And though the ghosts had spoken, I did not know their names
I had to walk untethered to be who I became

Now I know we're the same
We're only too close to see we're the same
So I'm calling the ghosts by their names

On a dark beach with the ravers, under a rorschach of clouds
All of us seeking our saviours in the solace of each other's mouths
Skeletal creatures of neon, rippling the ink up above
In the red field where I slumbered, every spectre was loved
But none were respected enough

For I was all emotion and I was all aflame
I had to walk through fire to be who I became

Now I know we're the same
We're only too close to see we're the same
And I'm one with the ghosts
You'll see we're the same
We're only too close to see we're the same
So I'm calling the ghosts by their names
