Like a spiral staircase
She stands in
The corner of my mind
Silently
And everyone was there
You were there and I was there
And the sun shone so determined
It tarnished our skin

And we can no longer pass as ghosts
We shook like trees, all in a row
As we stares up at the luscious throat
Of this raw summer
And none of us faltered
We let ourselves be kissed
Our backs, our necks, our shoulders
Until the dark took over
To lick us clean

We can no longer pass for ghosts
And I became you
And you became her
'Til it no longer mattered
Where we came from
Or how we got here
We have always been here
And we can no longer pass as ghosts

We have always been the static
We have always been the sea
We have always been screamin’
Been screamin’, been screamin’
Been screamin’ silently
