Jan Blomqvist - Ghosttrack Lyrics

Haunting the romantics
And tainting our time
From where'd they come?
Why do we have fixed ideas of love eh?
On your eyes they whisper
Telling what to see
Telling you know me
But is it me you say you see now?
Can you really live with none
And see without expectation?
Would it be any fun
Love without expectation?
Can you really see me?
Do you even want to?
Illusions they are lovely
Being in control
Hearing what you want
Reading into people what you want to
Your mind speaks in whispers
Always filtering
But where are you? You know?
And are you sure you think you know?
Can there be life with none
Pervasive expectations?
But if you're happy it's not always from
Satisfying expectations
And like ghosts they wait
Living in my shadows
They're definitely all me
No I can't see them
I can only meet them
When I wake to the feel

Like killing your lover
And feeding all the illusions instead
And just ignoring the others
Because I don't want that piece to be dead
But I know cold is the breathing
Of the ghost with the golden blood veins
A creeping numbness is killing
Like a frost on a December day
Cool my feet but I wont run
Cause I can't cheat expectation
Can there be life with none
Pervasive expectations?
Would it be any fun
Love without expectations?
They scarred my thoughts to cover lies
Grey as the color of my eyes
And like ghosts who haunt
Come out of the shadows
They are definitely all me
I invite them in
And prepare some coffee
And I ask them from where they come
Now here they appear
And now here they are absent
My definite family
Spin around my head
And abduct my mind, but
They're definitely all me
