Phone Ghost

You spoke of the city pressure growing

Tired and worked to the bone

You ring me to say you're getting better

Now you've found something real



Someone real I knew

I used to have blood that ran back to you



You told me that you would stay home waiting

Holding on for something real

What happened to the person I saw?

Phone calls can't explain



Someone real I knew

I used to have blood that ran back to you



Now your sunken eyes are just emeralds that won't shine

A look that says you've nothing left to lose

A ghost in the machine that knows everywhere I've been

What happened to the person that I knew?
