Every Ghost Remembers

[Intro] Piano fades beneath the rain

Low guitars begin to breathe

A candle shakes against the glass

Like it knows you’re leaving me

[Verse 1] I watched your eyes become a door

That would not open anymore

You smiled at me with borrowed grace

While dreaming of another place

I held my tongue, I played the part

With rusted nails inside my heart

You wore your silence like a veil

And I could feel the ending pale

[Pre-Chorus] Do you ever hear me

When the room falls cold

Do you ever miss me

Or am I just old smoke

[Chorus] Every ghost remembers

Every wound still sings

Every love that dies too slow

Leaves ashes on its wings

Do you think of me in thunder

When the candles lose their glow

Or did I fade beneath the hunger

Of a life I’ll never know

[Verse 2] I saw the way you turned your face

When his name lit up the place

I felt the ground beneath me split

But I learned to stand in it

I was not blind; I only prayed

That love could live where trust decayed

I fed a flame that wanted rain

And called the burning by your name

[Pre-Chorus] Do you ever feel it

When the dark gets wide

Do you ever reach back

For the man you left inside

[Chorus] Every ghost remembers

Every wound still sings

Every love that dies too slow

Leaves ashes on its wings

Do you think of me in thunder

When the candles lose their glow

Or did I fade beneath the hunger

Of a life I’ll never know

[Bridge] I am not begging at your altar

I am not crawling for your hand

I only hate the quiet answer

That I was never in your plans

Let the choir break the ceiling

Let the black guitars descend

I was faithful to the ruin

You were merciful to the end

[Breakdown] Say my name

If it still cuts through

Say my name

If I ever mattered to you

Let it burn

Let it bleed

Let the whole sky bury me

[Final Chorus] Every ghost remembers

Every wound still sings

Every love that dies too slow

Leaves ashes on its wings

Do you think of me in thunder

When the candles lose their glow

Or did I fade beneath the hunger

Of a life I’ll never know

[Outro] Piano fades beneath the rain

Low guitars fill the room

If I am nothing in your heart

Why do I still dream of you

[angry scream] Every ghost remembers

Every wound still sings
