Ghost in the Mirror

I'm in the city that never breathes

Nothing grows, no one ever leaves

On the air, there's a melody

Kicking backward in your memory

Kicking back in your memory

You live a life, so frictionless

Like an airport lounge or a liar's kiss

If you wonder where we can be found

We are treading water, trying not to drown

Treading water, trying not to drown

And we were disappearing

Fade into the sun

Maybe some better world will come along

When we're gone

You are a victim of missing time

Phantom days and running down the line

You never know what you find out there

Sometimes dreams dissolve in the air

Sometimes dreams dissolve in the air

And we were disappearing

Fade into the sun

Maybe some better world

Will come along

When we're gone

We are vain

And incurious

But we don't know why

Every day

There's a crack above

Revealing the second sky

On the drift

As the end of empire days just pass us by

Pass us by

I'm wide awake in the middle of the night

Hypnotized

And staring in the light

And I wonder if I even care

There's a ghost in the mirror, baby, I'm not there

Ghost in the mirror

Ghost in the mirror

Ghost in the mirror

Baby, I

I'm not there
