lyrics

I don’t know if this is the right thing to do
All I know is that I miss you
His lips are breaking as they touch my skin.
I can see the little lines crumbling
His fingernails are cracking as they reach for me.

his eyes are dead and he’s suffocating
I left red marks on his neck and now
I feel like a monster
but he's watching me with that glare
and counting the days
until it's over

is it right to stay when they treat us this way?
is it right to stay when he treats me this way?

I am the lone ranger
standing in place
and I don't know how to save my-
i don't know how to save my face

I picked the glass out of my mouth
and I laid my head down to rest
waiting and waiting and waiting to hear
but nothing made any sense
muffled voices from the other room-
whispers about my health

I can still hear you shuffling around downstairs
but it was silent for days
I can still see the mirages on my wall
of the ghost I am in a heavy haze
of walks and tokens and things that now mean nothing

is it right to stay when they treat us this way?
is it right to stay when he treats me this way?
is it right to stay when I treat myself this way?

I am the lone ranger
standing in place
and I don't know how to save my-
i don't know how to save my face

I am the lone ranger
stuck at my post
but i'm just a ghost
