Текст песни Emilie Autumn — Poem: Ghost

Ghost,
Did you know sometimes
It frightens me when you say my name
And I can't see you.
Will you ever learn to materialize
Before you speak.
Impetuous boy,
If that's what you really are?
How many centuries since
You've climbed a balcony
Or do you do this every night with someone else?
You tell me that you never leave.
And I am almost afraid to believe it.
Why is it me
You've chosen to follow?
Did you like the way I look when I am sleeping?
Was my hair more fun to tangle?
Are my dreams more entertaining?
Do you laugh when I'm complaining that I'm all alone.
Where were you when I searched the sea
For a friend to talk to me?
In a year where will you be?
Is it enough for you to steal
Into my mind filling up my page
With music written in my hand?
You know I'll take the credit for
I must have made you
Come to me somehow.
But please try to close the curtains
When you leave at night
Or I'll have to find someone
To stay and warm me.
Will you always attend my midnight tea parties
As long as I set your place?
If one day your sugar sits untouched
Will you have gone forever?
Would you miss me in a thousand years
When you will dry another's tears?
But you say you'll never leave me.
And I wonder if you'll have the decency
To pass through my wall to the next room
While I dress for dinner?
But when I'm stuck in conversation
With stuffed shirts whose adoration
Hurts my ears,
Where are you then?
Can't you cut in when
I dance with other men?
It's too late not
To interfere with my life.
You've already made me a most unsuitable wife
For any man who wants to be
The first his bride has slept with.
And you can't just fly into people's bedrooms
Then expect them to calmly wave goodbye.
You've changed the course of history
And didn't even try.
Where are you now
Standing behind me
Taking my hand?
Come and remind me
Who you are.
Have you traveled far?
Are you made of stardust too?
Are the angels after you?
Tell me what I am to do
But until then
I'll save your side of the bed
Just come and sing me to sleep.
