lyrics

Can you walk through walls, into corridors, down vacant halls?
Do you sleep to dream, do you dream at all?
Is heaven a place or does it all go black? Is it outer space?
Did you see a white light or foggy haze?

Look what you’ve done
Your broken heart is a loaded gun and I can’t stop crying over you
No war to wage, no battlefield, just empty space.
Know I’m still fighting for you

I saw you once in a daze of sorts, when you came to us.
Said you met a girl that you think you love.
Tell me is it true, when I speak out loud, is it getting through?
Is Virginia home and waiting on you?

Look what you’ve done
Your broken heart is a loaded gun and I can’t stop crying over you
No war to wage, no battlefield, just empty space
Know I’m still fighting for you

I should have held you closer
Be free now, little ghost
Though you’re no longer at my window
I still hear your songs
I’m singing with you and moving on
Into the final crescendo

What have we become?
These little pills are smoking guns
They kill us all, not just you
