Wraithlike

Here's a song that finally you can understand

A minor statement meant to counteract the plan

A list of wraith-like things, that quicken the heart

Just another song of faded memory

A raison d'etre for the entire family

I don't remember it well

I was in love for a spell

Copies of 'Sight and Sound'

She left lying around on the floor

She said I'd forget her voice

That's untrue

It's just not as sharp as before

Find some transparent words to give security

Another vacant smile that says rely on me

No way, commitment's a bore

Where have I heard it before?

I could've sworn that everything was crystal clear

But I was shackled by a language of ideas

A desert has its own rules

Outside the circle it's cruel

Copies of 'Sight and Sound'

She left lying around on the floor

She said I'd forget her voice

That's untrue

It's just not as sharp as before

The final verse is often meant to tie things up

But in this case my morals 've been most corrupt

I don't remember it well

I was in love for a spell

Copies of 'Sight and Sound'

She left lying around on the floor

She said I'd forget her face

That's a lie

It's just not as real as before
