Resurecting Ghosts (original)

when referenced, I say "What's her name?"
though in my mind she's been engraved
I drink consciously
to solubility

no shortage here of hands to clasp
though they could well be just mannequins
nothing special
but a live pulse

I finally earned the wisdom to say "I just don't know"
and I lost all my reasons for coming home
I'm just stirring dust and resurrecting ghosts

an empty bed, a lonely night
plenty willing, but still it isn't right
if I had 'em all
I'd be all alone

an outward source should own the blame
but the scale spikes solely toward my name
it makes me feel
so undesirable

I finally earned the wisdom to say "I just don't know"
and I lost all my reasons for coming home
I'm just stirring dust and resurrecting ghosts
