Do you see everything as an illusion But enjoy it even though you are not of it? Are you both masculine and feminine, politically aware? And don't believe in capital punishment?

Why don't we kill the lights? I'm no good at hiding underneath a sea of tears Flood pouring through my eyes I can't even close 'em, I can't even see you clear And when you're looking in the mirror Demons may be closer than they may appear You can even cry and sit and stare Or try to run away, I'm tryna run away I'm staring at a ghost I'm staring at a ghost Why don't we take a walk? Everybody knows a hand to hold is all we need Quiet, let's not even talk Every word I say to you, you only just repeat And when you're looking in the mirror Demons may be closer than they may appear You can even cry and sit and stare Or try to run away, I'm tryna run away I'm staring at a ghost I'm staring at a ghost Blood is on our hands We never understand Living just to die another day Powder on our face carries us away Reaching for a dream that always fades Madness in a smile Won't you stay a while? I'm staring at a ghost I'm staring at a ghost (I'm staring at a ghost) (I'm staring at a ghost) I'm staring at a ghost (I'm staring at a ghost) (I'm staring at a ghost)
