Earthbound

I’m chasing ghosts. I’m chasing you.
I don’t think I’m really here ‘cause you just see through.
Everything is slow. I can see your lips move.
I’m caught in your half-time. Stuck in your groove.
How long must I wait? Shall I be…
Earthbound. 40 days. An eternity.
See me? Hear me? Don’t you even feel me?
Your tears they glow. Let that molten fire flow.
I only wanted to walk this earth
Undisturbed but not unnoticed.
My breath, words are wasted.
I dwell on echoes, unheard, unsaid.
How long must I wait? Shall I be…
Earthbound. 40 days. An eternity.
