Choices

You'll tell my your secrets
I'll tell you my lies
You'll ask me a question
I'll claim that I tried
You'll give my your honor
I'll grant you your prayers
You'll give me your ransom
I'll forget that you're there

Come once for the wedding
Come once for the call
Come once for the funeral
Come once 'till we fall

I don't want your treasures
I don't want your pride
I take what I wanted
You can't save my life

So kill me with kindness
I'm suffering so
So kill me with kisses
I'll still be your foe
So take me for something
I promise I'm not
I might take you for granted
But your all that I've got

Come once for the wedding
Come once for the call
Come once for the funeral
Come once 'till we fall

You'll tell me you love me
I'll tell you I'll try
Your all that I wanted
But I fear for my life

Ghost Runner

Run with me.
Cast your shadow.
I can feel you,
Every time.

Take a breath,
The wind surrounds me.
Deep in silence,
Fill my mind.

Run with me.
Keep me close,
You might be gone,
But never far.

Harsh breathing,
You're my ghost.
But I can feel you
In my heart.

Steady foot steps.
Faster gate.
Wind behind us,
Take the pace.

Life's never winning
In this race.
You set the bar
And then escaped.

Run with me.
Fill this void.
Feet still moving,
Have no choice.

Run with me.
Keep me strong,
I know you've been here
All along.

Take the silence,
Set the pace,
Run with me.
We'll win the race.
Leave these tear stains,
In your place.
Run with me,
Let us escape.
