lyrics

I'm so afraid of you
and the rest of them too, it's true.
I'm so afraid of you
and the rest of them too
I saw you walking on your own today
as the ghost songs played in your head
I saw you staring wild beneath your hair
with the eyes of the living dead
Mystery surrounds you
as you're sucked into the vacuum,
subtle violence of passing days
And you move through all the vultures
And you purify each circle
that your spirit has passed... away

Long are the shadows
that are stretching inside my mind.
Deep is the chasm
in the godless space behind your eyes
And all of our tomorrows
evaporate like water
in the hot desert sands of time
And the ghost that moves within me
is moving towards the ending
swirling faint in the mortal eye.

And, I'm so afraid of you
and the rest of them too, it's true
I'm so afraid of you
and the rest of them too.
