lyrics

Dancing with Fate in the black of the night
Between here and abandon she asked for a light
She’s just a tease on the nights I get so close
I can almost feel her reach me but I guess we’re all just ghosts

Are we just men trying to escape?
Are we nothing more than ghosts searching for a sacred place?
What good are scars to a ghost? Maybe he needs them the most
He wears them on his heart, he’d rather disregard

Wishing on stars I asked Fate for some luck
Between here and abandon on a blanket looking up
She’s just a tease on the nights I get so close
I can almost feel her reach me but I guess we’re all just ghosts

Between here and abandon
Between a ghost and a man

Are we just men trying to escape?
Are we nothing more than ghosts searching for a sacred place?
What good are scars to a ghost? Maybe he needs them the most
He wears them on his heart, he’d rather disregard

I only ever wish she let me in on her secret (her secret)
I never understood; she still hasn’t said

Are we just men trying to escape?
Are we nothing more than ghosts searching for a sacred place?
What good are scars to a ghost? Maybe he needs them the most
He wears them on his heart, he’d rather disregard
