(Friend:)
I had a dream, my friend, that you died
The waves in the sea had swallowed you alive
They found your body washed up on the shore
Your mother was there, but she didn't say a word
The priest had said you fought a good fight
Then we all walked into the loneliness of night
A shadow that hid in the darkness said
(Ghost:)
"Don't ignore the little voice in your head
The salt in my lungs won't bring you peace
So won't you quit thinking of me?"
(Friend:)
I wish I could

Through the keyhole I see you
Masked beauty
Painting pictures of well-oiled machines
Through the keyhole
Electric wires connecting our hearts
Making us human again
Lightning strikes, jolts us to life
Alive but not breathing just yet
Where are you going?
Somewhere no one needs to know?
Behind your teeth, do you hide from me your words?
Where are you going?
Would it kill you just to stay here with me?
Is it love if love finds an end?
Or are we just lying again?
Bright shade of blue, underlying reds
Your picture's as twisted as sin
Justify what you thought was wrong
Then hollow your heart out again
Changes can make or break this
When the sun's moving places, my shadow's so long
I try to go on

(Priest:)
I heard a whisper come down the coast
I felt your presence
I felt your ghost
It read like scripture
It hurt like the truth
Maybe it was you or nothing at all
A yellow raincoat
A man dead on his back
A dripping wet note with memories still intact
(Note:)
"Separate the whispers from the faith that you lack
Make a list of all you lost because you'll be getting back nothing at all"

He holds the phone to his ear
Little does he know what next he'll hear
Just a few more words and his world comes crashing down
On the other line comes that awful sound
The doorbell rings but he can't move
He just sits and stares at the wall across the room
"Is this real life?" Is what is going through his mind
"Can we just go back, just go back in time?"
The church bells ring as the crowd walked out
A plethora of black filled the mourning crowd
"IGN 140" read the license plate
Of the jet-black hearse his lover was in that day
Say your words
They do not mean a thing to me
Cause I just want one thing
Just want one thing
For her to come back home
Come back to me

(Mother:)
She still believes in the things she can't see
She talks to God almost every day
She wears that big cross around her neck
And swears she hears you call from the waves
We cross our fingers with bloody knuckles
And bite our tongues when we try to speak
The salt in your lungs won't bring us peace
But closure might be just what we need
Your brother's just fine
He said his goodbyes
And left town without taking anything
He left me a letter it said "She'd be better,
please just let her be."
And I don't know why, but I can't let you die
I can't get you out of my head
The salt in your lungs won't bring me peace
But I don't want peace I want you
The waves crash around my head
I still wake up screaming out your name
When I see that raincoat that once held the Captain
Choking on the salt that now runs through your veins
