Lyrics I'm a Ghost of Twilight - Closure In Moscow

I'm a Ghost of Twilight

Awake to the cracking of bones
To the scratch in my throat
Awake to every boy and girl
Every heart that feels a swell
It’s all so lovely when you look at it just right
It’s also stabbing me to sleep
Needles long into the night
Suspended eventide can only mean one thing
I’m a ghost of twilight
Haunting neither night nor day
With one foot treading sweet rapture
And one foot in the grave
Asleep to the creaks and the groans
To the sounds of their sex
Asleep to all the promises
All the blessed days ahead
I want so much to keep this precious
Thing from harm
Then there’s a part of me that wants to hold it lifeless
In my arms
'Cause I got this chill in my bones
And a warmth on my face
Desperate for resolve
They’re closer every day
The ghosts of twilight call
So now I’m joining them
I slept with faith and found a corpse in my arms
On awakening
I drank and danced all night with doubt
And found her a virgin in the morning
