the ghost in my window - the aftermath

 

I boarded the freight train with nothing to lose

My compass and I we know where to hide clues

Silence's like pirates they shine

Like diamonds in the ocean blues

Star gazing through all the holes in the roof 

Luck only comes unto you if you lose

Crystals in bathtubs, in hair and in shoes

Oddity is the only path you'd choose

I soared like a falcon across the red sky 

Picked every petal apart, he thought I 

Died on the side of a road no one goes by

Left alone even in the afterlife

Farther and farther I swim like I'm trying

To find the edge of the world but my old spine

Is bejeweled in the rhinestones of my

Favorite crimes

I felt a flame of feeling but the wind blew the fuse

Bereft of a cleansing I dived into the pool 

Full clothed, hair up, sanctimoniously true

Living on a prayer is of no use

The ghost in my window looks a lot like me

Pale as the sands of the beach, Normandy

Forgive my soul mate she doesn't know that I'm here 

And I'm only left with the spirit of wanting reason

The only train left my station oh so hastily 

I sat there in the rain afraid if I leave

My ticket to freedom would go to waste

And the depth in my perception would fade.
