lyrics

And in walls of sheet metal,
On nights she wore next to nothing,
And stood in corners,
In tongue locks with the shadows she knew,
We knew nothing.

Our friends said she spoke just like a liar,
She told me she felt like an impostor.

I buried my love today,
Took a spade and plotted out her grave,
And when the spot was found,
I put the shovel in the ground,
I put her body in a casket,
Dropped the casket in the earth.

And our bed is still cold from her naked ashen bones.

I swore that last night I could hear her cry,
She said my name out loud, she spoke:
'I was sleeping, now I wake,
And I know not this place,
Jeremiah, where am I?'
O the sight of her eyes.

Tears were spilling, blood was red,
With scarlet stains around her mouth,
Her fingers curled up in a fist,
How could it all have came to this?
And now she walks alone,
Save for the shadows and the ghosts.

And the ghosts that wander the attics,
And the ghosts that wander the alleys,
And the ghosts that wander the attics and alleys of the world.
