Ghost in the Crowd

(Soft, aching:

Ooh… ooh…

Time slows…

I’m still here…

I’m still here…)

I’m standin in the middle of a thousand hearts

Faces blur tearing me apart

I’m here but I’m gone—God, can you feel me at all?

A shadow screaming while the living never call

Hands pass through me like I’m made of broken glass

Conversations cut me open, never even ask

I’m present in the silence between every frantic beat

A passenger of moments that refuse to let me meet

(Ooh… ooh-ooh…

Ahh… fading slow…

Just the heartbeat… just the ache…

Mmm…)

The noise turns quiet…

every shout becomes a prayer

The world spinning fast…

while I’m drowning in the airrrrrr

I’m a ghost in the crowd, I’m here but I’m GONE

The noise is quiet and the time slows DOWN

I’m floating through the bodies, never making a sound

I’m a ghost in the crowd…

I’m a ghost in the crowd…

Still somehow… still somehow around

*[Guitar solo]*

Maybe if I scream you’ll hear the echo of my name

Maybe if I reach you’ll finally feel this flame

But the seconds stretch like honey dripping from a wound

And I dissolve a little more beneath this quiet mooooooon

(Ah-ah-ah…

Lift me higher…

Feel me… feel me…

Ooh… don’t let me disappear…)

I’m a ghost in the crowd, I’m here but I’m GONE

The noise is quiet and the time slows DOWN

I’m floating through the bodies, never making a sound

I’m a ghost in the crowd…

I’m a ghost in the crowd…

*[Guitar interlude]*

Still somehow… still somehow around

(Soft, aching:

Ooh… ooh…

Time slows…

I’m still here…

I’m still here…)
