Fossil Youth - Common Ghost lyrics

I watched the smoke rise from your backyard I watched you cut that oak tree down A burning sensation lit my lungs As we watched the embers hit the ground Where did we go wrong When did we go numb I wish I was a whisper in the wind Maybe then you'd be listening And then I wondered what I'd have to do To get out of this situation to cut out all sense of hesitation To put a nail in the coffin and bury me in the dirt Silence stirs like scissor tongues that cut our lips with every word Some days I wish we didn't speak Every night I lay awake You're my common ghost
