We're few and far between
We're every sound that breaks your sleep
Along the hallway walls we creep
Close enough to catch you
Just enough to take you away

I know you salt your bedside
I know where you sleep and at what time
The quick and the uninvited kind
Close enogh to catch you
Just enough to fly you away

Just to float along
A ghost I wish to be
Just to float along
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
Just to float along
A ghost I wish to be
Just to float along
Between the devil and the deep blue sea

As we attempt to ascend the sky
As we attempt to ascend
As we attempt to ascend the sky
Flying by night and onto the heavens
As we attempt to ascend the sky
As we attempt to ascend
As we attempt to ascend the sky
Flying by night and onto

I'm just your favorite nightmare
I just killed all your dreams
Hovering by your bedside
I've been waiting
I'm just your favorite nightmare
I just took over your dreams
I just took over your whole life
I've been waiting

Just to float along
A ghost I wish to be
Just to float along
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
Just to float along
A ghost I wish to be
Just to float along
Between the devil and the deep blue sea

As we attempt to ascend the sky
As we attempt to ascend
As we attempt to ascend the sky
Flying by night and onto the heavens
As we attempt to ascend the sky
As we attempt to ascend
As we attempt to ascend the sky
Flying by night and onto

Just to float along
A ghost I wish to be
Just to float along
Between the devil and the deep blue sea

On the winds back I ride
The gust is strong and it's solid
As I glide through the night
Through the clouds and the forests
I'm cast from the light
And thrown as shadows on the wall
My first name is silence
But through the darkness I call
Don't lie awake
Close your eyes
Calm your breathing
With the next breath you take
Take me in and take it easy
In your veins I will stay
As I flow through your chest
You know the first name
The last name's relentless
Come hell or high water.
