A recorded reading of “Ghosts With Skin”. If the player does not load, use the original audio source.
You touched me like I wasn’t gone. A flicker, a breath— still hanging on. We speak in silence, haunt what we knew. Not quite alive, not fully through. We’re ghosts with skin, and this is the ache— the almost love we still can't shake.
Lyrics
You brushed past me Like smoke from a fire A shadow with heartbeat A ghost with desire Your hands still know Where my bruises begin But you haunt this house Like ghosts with skin You’re gone but not gone Still sleep in my seams Love like a fever And loss like a dream We’re ghosts with skin Breathing in sorrow Loving in echoes Borrowed tomorrow I see you in mirrors That never reflect Touching the parts That time can’t protect We’re ghosts with skin Still pretending to live Still holding the hands We forgot how to give I lit all the candles But none brought you back You linger in silence Between every crack Your laugh is a language That memory speaks And your absence, A god I meet every week You’re gone but not gone Still sleep in my seams Love like a fever And loss like a dream We’re ghosts with skin Breathing in sorrow Loving in echoes Borrowed tomorrow I see you in mirrors That never reflect Touching the parts That time can’t protect We’re ghosts with skin Still pretending to live Still holding the hands We forgot how to give If I forget you Do I forget me? We were made of longing And memory debris We’re ghosts with skin We never let go Living in silence Too heavy to show We touch like a prayer We ache like the end We’re ghosts with skin That still try to mend
