I Think I Saw A Ghost Lyrics
One Hope
Lyrics
The clock it taunts me
Tells me I should be
Thirty thousand feet in the air but I'm only six feet
Still drowning in the thought
I'll never be enough
Looking at myself and thinking he doesn't deserve your love
I can't escape the feeling
I'm not human, it's just a subliminal act
I think I'm losing my mind
Working overtime
'Til my heartbeat stops on a dime
I think I saw a ghost
Staring back at me through the mirror
They're reaching through my soul
As I dissociate the feeling of feeling again
Nostalgic memories of my past haunt me at night
While nightmares of my future possess my mind
I'm staring at these walls I
Think I might go insane
How can I feel something
When nothings felt the same?
I guess it's wishful thinking
That I could live a life
Without the torment of my demons and their knives
I think I saw a ghost
Staring back at me through the mirror
They're reaching through my soul
As I dissociate the feeling of feeling again
I'm overthinking my whole life
'Til the point I feel numb inside
But I'm still an emotional softie
Can't handle it when I cry
I get overwhelmed with emotions
Feels like I'm lost with motion
I'll live my life in la vie en noir
Dansant avec les morts
I think I saw a ghost
Staring back at me through the mirror
Don't recognize myself
As I dissociate the feeling of feeling again
Uh na-na-na-na
Uh na-na-na-na
Uh na-na-na-na-la-ta-da
Uh na-na-na-na
Uh na-na-na-na
Uh na-na-na-na-la-ta-da
Uh na-na-na-na
Uh na-na-na-na
Uh na-na-na-na-la-ta-da
