about

A song about coming back to your hometown years after moving away and feeling really out of place while you're there. All your friends have moved away, your family members are after dying ... it's a surreal feeling.

lyrics

Every time I return
I hope to see familiar faces
But only ghosts remain
Replaced by people I no longer know

Empty houses
Missing souls
I no longer feel at home

The past is fading
I cannot hope to hold it
Move on or be left behind

Things have changed
For better or for worse
But I know what I must do

Say goodbye
To those dead and gone
I will not yet join the phantoms

This surreal feeling
Never seems to leave my mind
Everything is so bizarre
Twenty years down the road

So this is where I stand
Do I belong to this chasm?
No, I refuse to succumb
To the gate of ghosts

Empty houses
Missing souls
I no longer feel at home

The past is fading
I cannot hope to hold it
Move on or be left behind

Things have changed
For better or for worse
But I know what I must do

Say goodbye
To those dead and gone
I will not yet join the phantoms

This is a final parting
To the ghost town I call home
