Ghost of Yesterday

Lyrics

There is far more to a soul than its vessel
Or so they say
But I must play the role for which I'm chosen
Facing judgement for all that I have made

I would rather lose myself 'neath these watercolor skies
And wander 'til I forget my name
She is an illusion, a ghost, but I don't mind at all
I'll dance with the ghost of yesterday

Every day, it seems I'm chasing my redemption
For a life I threw away
And had I known, I wouldn't waste a second
But this is now, and now is far too late

All I do is lose myself 'neath these watercolor skies
And wander 'til I forget my name
She is an illusion, a ghost, but I don't mind at all
I'll dance with the ghost of yesterday

Am I awake? (Am I awake?)
Or am I dreaming?
Day bleeds into night bleeds into day
This body aches (this body aches)
But they're the ones screaming
This is who we are, there's no escape

All I do is lose myself 'neath these watercolor skies
And wander 'til I forget my name (wander 'til I forget my name)
She is an illusion, a ghost, but I don't mind at all
I'll dance with the ghost of yesterday
