I'm a Ghost of Twilight - Closure In Moscow

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
