I walk the pavement you walk every day And I wonder how you manage To make it Time is going slow tonight But during your days Time is running fast When the sun will rise You will walk among the sheep Shutting down the voices screaming When the sun will set You will leave this place Opening your mouth to desperately breathe How do you manage To remain silent Within this deafening environment In what seems to be my parallel universe World upside down I am walking on the sky to avoid your footsteps In your high tower You are no closer to me But buried under walls of glass And it hurts me to see you Fading in the void this life dug around you Turning into a shadow of who you really are I will go to sleep next to you tonight Because this place has been my home before But I will walk amongst you tomorrow And I will look at your faces And all I will see my love Are ghosts

Ghosts of the pavement
I walk the pavement you walk every day And I wonder how you manage To make it Time is going slow tonight But during your days Time is running fast When the sun will rise You will walk among the sheep Shutting down the voices screaming When the sun will set You will leave this place Opening your mouth to desperately breathe How do you manage To remain silent Within this deafening environment In what seems to be my parallel universe World upside down I am walking on the sky to avoid your footsteps In your high tower You are no closer to me But buried under walls of glass And it hurts me to see you Fading in the void this life dug around you Turning into a shadow of who you really are I will go to sleep next to you tonight Because this place has been my home before But I will walk amongst you tomorrow And I will look at your faces And all I will see my love Are ghosts
