Shadow on the Wall

Verse 1

Lipstick stained

On a glass of cheap merlot

Bitter

Cold

I watched you pack your heavy leather grip

I watched you slip away

I watched you ruin everything

Now the kitchen feels like a graveyard

Silence is a heavy cloak

Chorus

You were the smoke in my lungs

The salt in my open wounds

You were the salt

The salt

The salt

Now I am just a shadow on the wall

Waitin' for a ghost to call

Waitin' for a ghost to call

Post-Chorus

Ooh

Aching

Blue

Verse 2

Stumble

Down the hall where we used to laugh

Found a photograph

Torn in two

Begging for a reason

Begging for a breath

Begging for the truth

My pride is a tattered flag

Left out in the pouring rain

Stained

By your name

Chorus

You were the smoke in my lungs

The salt in my open wounds

You were the salt

The salt

The salt

Now I am just a shadow on the wall

Waitin' for a ghost to call

Waitin' for a ghost to call

Bridge

Maybe I drank too much of the poison

Maybe you fed it to me with a silver spoon

I am tired of the velvet lies

I am tired of the hollow sighs

I am tired of the way you look at me

Like I am the one who went crazy

Guitar Solo

Chorus

You were the smoke in my lungs

The salt in my open wounds

You were the salt

The salt

The salt

Now I am just a shadow on the wall

Waitin' for a ghost to call

Waitin' for a ghost to call

Outro

Just a ghost

One more glass

One more sin

Let the dark come crawling in

Crawling in

Bitter

Cold

Lipstick stained

On a glass of cheap merlot
