I disappeared for a never to return
I cut the strings and watched the bridges burn
'Til you and I
Were on opposing sides
No atheist in the foxholes when the bullets fly
Overhead 'cause those who fight
All think they're doing right
But you and I saw eye to eye
I can hear your voice inside this house
Late at night, it gets so loud
I swear to God, I hear it now
I can feel your ghost inside this room
Late at night, I watch it move
Swear to God, it looks like you
And even if it's not, I lie and say it is
Because it helps me sleep at night
When I close my eyes
And dream of better times
Long before you saw the thing that I've become
When I close my eyes
And even if it's wrong
I pray that every evening you watch
I wandered off beyond the edge of town
By the time my feet hit foreign ground
You and I
Had lost our minds
And no atheists when the clergy comes to read their rites
And your next of kin convince themselves they're doing fine
But you and I
Could never die
I can hear your voice inside this house
Late at night, it gets so loud
I swear to God, I hear it now
I can feel your ghost inside this room
Late at night, I watch it move
I swear to God, it looks like you
And even if it's not, I lie and say it is
Because it helps me sleep at night
When I close my eyes
And dream of better times
Long before you saw the thing that I've become
When I close my eyes
And even if it's wrong
I pray that every evening you watch
And even if it's not, I lie and say it is
Because it helps me sleep at night
When I close my eyes
And dream of better times
And even if it's not, I lie and say it is
Because it helps me sleep at night
When I close my eyes
And dream of better times
And even if it's not, I lie and say it is
Because it helps me sleep at night
When I close my eyes
And dream of better times
(I swear to God, I hear it now)
But even if it's not, I like to say it is
Because it helps me sleep at night
When I close my eyes
And dream of better times
(I swear to God, it looks like you)
