Two Ghosts

[Chorus]
We’re two ghosts in different bedrooms
Trying to remember the steps
Trying to remember what love is
Trying to understand why I love him less

[Verse 1]
You left your mark on my body
You left your mark on my heart
Now I’m trying to tear it out
But it’s just leaving me scarred
I’ve got all this tissue
Healed over with time
They said time would fix this
But the scar’s still bleeding

[Chorus]
We’re two ghosts in different bedrooms
Trying to remember the steps
Trying to remember what love is
Trying to understand why I love him less

[Verse 2]
He’s speaking to me in a foreign tongue
I curve my lips and I nod along
He’s touching me and his hands slip right through
He’s singing melodies but my heart’s in a different tune
It’s still beating to the rhythm of you

[Chorus]
We’re two ghosts in different bedrooms
Trying to remember the steps
Trying to remember what love is
Trying to understand why I love him less

[Bridge]
We’re two ghosts in different bedrooms
Why aren’t we together?
We’re two ghosts in different bedrooms
Our love died, so we said this is better
We survived, so we wrote it in letters
Shook hands, said that it was a pleasure
Smiles tight but we stretched them like leather
It was dark days and we gave in to pressure
I’m not sure, not sure this is better
But I guess desperate times called for desperate measures

[Outro]
We’re two ghosts in different bedrooms
Hating each other
We’re two ghosts in different bedrooms
Missing each other
Two ghosts in different bedrooms
I was never a ghost when I was with you

The World Becomes Her

The world covers her hands—
In splatters of blue and green, red and yellow—
Paints her body with pieces of knowledge like stars in a night sky.
For she is truth and beauty
And lies and greed—gold with envy and naked with purity—
She is the world
And the world becomes her
