Orbit of Ghosts

**Orbit of Ghosts** [Intro – soft spring-reverb guitar + distant vocoder] (soft, floating) I’m still here… Going around… [Verse 1] Caught in a circle I can’t escape Watching the same blue world turn Every city is a memory now Every light is a life I never learned I see the roads I never took The faces I never stayed to know They move like shadows under glass While I keep drifting slow [Pre-Chorus] Gravity let me go But something still holds on I circle what I left behind Long after it is gone [Chorus] I’m caught in the orbit of ghosts Watching the cities glow and fade Every light is a life I almost lived Now I’m just the shadow they made Orbit of ghosts… Orbit of ghosts… I keep returning To a world that already moved on [Verse 2] The seasons change without my name The oceans rise and fall alone I press my hand against the glass But no one feels the cold I used to think the distance was kind That leaving meant becoming free Now I know the hardest part Is still being able to see [Pre-Chorus] Gravity let me go But something still holds on I circle what I left behind Long after it is gone [Chorus] I’m caught in the orbit of ghosts Watching the cities glow and fade Every light is a life I almost lived Now I’m just the shadow they made Orbit of ghosts… Orbit of ghosts… I keep returning To a world that already moved on [Bridge – atmospheric, delayed leads] (soft vocoder) I was supposed to fall… I was supposed to burn… Instead I just keep turning… Year after year… Learning nothing new… [Final Chorus – bigger, more emotional] I’m caught in the orbit of ghosts Watching the cities glow and fade Every light is a life I almost lived Now I’m just the shadow they made Orbit of ghosts… Still going around… Orbit of ghosts… Never coming down [Outro – long delayed guitar + fading vocoder] (soft) Still going around… Still going around…
