We Become Ghosts

Such a simple little plan

Like the touch of stranger's hands

When yours I can barely stand

A shake and shiver

I don't know why we're made this way

Turn this bed into a grave and

We were lost, we were damned, so alone

This is how we become ghosts

I hear whispers in our calls

Like rats inside the walls

Even jumpers love the fall

A mask, a mirror

If life is but a stage

For every part you played

Love's just better with a little hate and

We were lost, we were damned, so alone

This is how we become ghosts

Blade so clean

But your kiss is what cuts me deep

And I can't breathe

With you so near

I can't think

With that poison in my ear, no

Damsel or dragon

Virgin or whore

Fangs or a dagger

I'll be begging for more

Last rites but no words

Heart beat goes slow

This is how we become

Ghosts... ghosts... ghosts
