Ghosts Can't Love (Part I) - Hotel Books.mp3

[00:37.96]What's the point?
[00:40.99]Can your so called honesty predict revelations?
[00:45.17]This trigonometry repeals all my innovation.
[00:49.30]The angles set had no equation.
[00:52.84]A triangle makes sense, but our parallel lines never intersected.
[00:57.81]Our love was a geometric oddity at best,
[01:01.45]Something we would hate to love,
[01:03.49]But yearn to detest.
[01:05.93]I hoped it wouldn't last, but I never wanted it to end.
[01:09.96]Hopefulness came in a pretty package,
[01:12.61]And, oh my God, I wanted to open it.
[01:16.34]You were like a letter sent to me from the world
[01:19.87]And one of these days, I'm going to see what it holds
[01:24.05]I can just imagine the stress being torn open with that envelope.
[01:33.06]But if you can hear me, next time send a postcard,
[01:36.92]Something that doesn't need to be concealed,
[01:39.54]So I can see your words for face value,
[01:42.78]Scribbled out on the back of a place I wish I was, with you.
[01:50.44]This hopefulness was still in the cards,
[01:53.88]And I fought the fact that it was going to be hard,
[01:58.01]But I never was superstitious enough to believe in fate anyway.
[02:02.29]Or luck, for that matter.
[02:04.82]Or hope, I suppose.
[02:08.66]Disappointment has become a revolving door.
[02:12.09]You never ripped out my heart, but you ripped out my core.
[02:15.58]I remember that night, that minute,
[02:17.79]You said, "No one you can ever replace you."
[02:20.21]Well darling, somebody is bound to.
[02:23.50]And when you walked away, I found a different suitor to take your place.
[02:28.19]Her name is loneliness and she kept me comfortable.
[02:31.97]She sometimes speaks, but she is not very audible.
[02:35.10]Her voice sounds like a window cill cracking,
[02:39.23]Sometimes a door blowing open, dancing in the breeze,
[02:45.31]As I'm falling on my knees, broken
[02:49.04]But when she usually speaks
[02:50.68]She comes as a ghost putting coals on my back as I sleep
[02:57.35]Burning holes in my flesh as I try to dream,
[03:02.03]Warming up my spine and making me afraid of the heat.
[03:08.66]And that's a ghost I want to be
[03:12.49]I was dead set on a dead bet that put all hope to bed
[03:16.42]Revenge, or just to avenge the red half-baked love that burnt at both ends
[03:21.64]Pretend? No, but still not real
[03:26.02]If love exists, then I guess it doesn't know how to feel
[03:31.90]How can I show love to her,
[03:36.42]When I can't feel it
[03:40.31]How am I supposed to show love to the world
[03:44.64]When I don't believe in it?
[03:48.92]I don't know what love looks like
[03:53.10]As I close my eyes every night,
[03:56.01]I'm ready to breathe, I'm ready to believe,
[03:59.94]And I'm ready to be alive,
[04:04.28]Just show me what love looks like,
[04:12.39]Just show me what love looks like,
[04:20.65]Because you are love and I'm alive.
