A spectre crawled inside of my head
I never could get him out
The reckoning's coming, but I don't know when
I've only a shadow of doubt
A cellophane on a hospital bed
The fallacies figured me out
They cauterized the damage on the back of his head
I never could let it down
No, I never could let it down
I never could let it down
A black-winged bird at the water's edge
If only you could see me now
A desert island in my head
I've already run aground
You travel this water, I search for the wreck
The subtleties pull me down
A desperate occasion, I hold my breath
I never could let it down
No, I never could let it down
I never could let it down
