lyrics

Fogged in all day.
The long low horns announcing the passing of another ghost ship.
But we see nothing it's as if a curtain had been dropped.
Go back into yourself it says, none of this matters to you anymore.
All that drama color movement you can live without it.
It was an illusion, a tease, a lie.
There's nothing out here but smoke from the rubble that was
everything, everything you wanted.
Everything you thought you needed.
Ships passing forget it
children bathing there's no such thing
let go your island is a mote of dust
but the horns of the ghost ships say
Remember us.
We remember you.
