The Shade of the Ghost

from All Impulses by Blue Chain Language

/

about

The music for this song is the oldest on the album. This song was originally intended to be on Pilotless, which I finished three years prior but I could never write lyrics to it at the time and the style just didn't match with what was going on with that album. It sounds corny, but this song is about true devotion to someone else and how if you allow them into every aspect of your life, it is that much more surprising how they can effect you positively.

lyrics

I've gotten what I want and I'll never see the sun
Sleeping on my side, alive,
To simply kill off the time
Reveal just where you are
Close enough to hear my heart
See my face the shade of the ghost
Find your body faint like the smoke
But I know
It's the fire in that's been gathering
The miracle never gone
And I, the loyal side
Of this kind of life
It's all I know from now on

Whether right or wrong
(I return to sender)
All things, all along
(As your neverender)

You're everywhere and when ever and over again
Pull the color out of my sight
All new you in black and white
Appear right where you are
Close enough to feel your heart
With my face the shade of the ghost
Find your body faint like the smoke
But I know
It's the fire in
That's been gathering
The miracle never gone
And it's the certainty
That keeps you with me
A fact disowned in our bones

Whether right or wrong
(I return to sender)
All things, all along
(As your neverender)
