Ghosts in Waiting

Verse 1: Shadows lengthen, day bleeds to night Footsteps falter, no end in sight Echoes of laughter, long since gone We stumble forward, ragged, withdrawn Chorus: We're all just ghosts in waiting Haunting halls of faded dreams Each breath a countdown ticking Nothing's ever what it seems Verse 2: Roots wither in poisoned ground Choking on the air around Stars once bright now burn out cold leaving us lost, uncontrolled (Chorus) Verse 3: Time erodes our weathered bones Memories fade like ancient stones We cling to life with bloodied hands Dragging ourselves through barren lands Bridge: In the spaces between heartbeats In the silence of our screams We find the will to carry on Through this nightmare dressed as dreams (Chorus)
