I've seen you, you're burning
And I'm the hollow shell, the shell shocked sensual
I've dreamed you, returning
And I'm the medium, the air to breathe you in
I feel you, the real you
The night is long, too long to hide, hide in your fears
Fears mapped outside yourself, try to find yourself
I know you're near, sense you are here, here where I'm lost
Lost to the other me, cross to another me
I've seen you, you're moving
And I'm the stepping stone, the body to be home
It shivers, and whispers
And you can't kill something, when it does not exist
I feel you, the real you
The night is long, too long to hide, hide in your fears
Fears mapped outside yourself, try to find yourself
I know you're near, sense you are here, here where I'm lost
Lost to the other me, cross to another me
In my head everything's unreal I'm sick, you don't know how I feel
I can't do the simplest thing I'm stuck, I'm static, I'm pinned
In my dreams there's a big red car, it stops and they can't make it start
The big black just a hairs breadth away is far to real to escape
In my head everything's unreal I'm sick, you don't know how I feel
The night is long, too long to hide, hide in your fears
Fears mapped outside yourself, try to find yourself
I know you're near, sense you are here, here where I'm lost
Lost to the other me, cross to another me
I am the spectre man on the edge of your streets
Nobody's inviting me in, we ghosts don't need to be asked
Just float in through the walls
I've become a black and white horror creep show of a person.
Ride on this river running torrent of abuse.
But they're only talking, they're only talking
