"I'd Rather Be A Ghost"

The world is slipping away
Just like the sun at the end of day
I don't want to be here anymore
I don't want to be here anyway

I wander aimlessly
Just one more place I'm not supposed to be
So I'll make home in the unknown
And try to live there peacefully

Cause nothing happens, nothing changes
I see no fruits of means and ends
It all yields the same results
Again and again

So if I'm invisible either way
It's invisible that I'm gonna stay
I'm better off an island
Than an archipelago
I'd rather be a ghost
I'd rather be a ghost

I'm a specter, I'm a figment
Only fading in and out
Thoughts careening, heavy dreaming
On the weight of love and doubt

In the world of the concrete
The solid ground I'll never meet
The warmth of a heart beating
The thought alone is defeating

So if I'm invisible either way
It's invisible that I'm gonna stay
I'm better off an island
Than an archipelago
I'd rather be a ghost
I'd rather be a ghost

Not the same privalege
As you
The hands that try to reach me
Only pass through
And I've hoped and prayed
And gone and stayed
And not even love
Could make any of it true

Doors won't open
Or close
And this place I'm at
Is the only one I know
I'd rather be a ghost
I'd rather be a ghost
I'd rather be a ghost
Watch me fade away
