Love, your enemy is time It's too soon to set it straight Too late to keep you on the narrow
For this pressure on my chest, That never lets me rest is building with each new tomorrow
For what we needed most, was only just a ghost A vapor trail, a plane gone by A bridge of smoke that fades before our eyes
We'd cross the rope, but our balance is a joke We're human after all, still there's no excuse to fall
This mortal will, more rust than flesh Turned by the creeping bitterness Aging machines, no soul to offer Crushed by the burdens of ours fears Carried alone for all these years Programmed to flee, too weak to bother
What we needed most was only just a ghost A vapor trail, a plane gone by A bridge of smoke that fades before our eyes
We'd cross the rope, but our balance is a joke We're human after all, still there's no excuse to-
Afraid of letting go, we claw the dirt and move the earth Reclaiming the rotting vessels of our love Animating corpses to dance like they're rejoicing As the audience is stifled by the actors in our show But it must go on
We were the cause, we are at fault We cannot draw from empty vaults With vacant hands, we're left to ponder
If only then we had been told, infatuations would grow cold We might have more than ash to squander I'll always wonder...
Was it a vapor trail? A vapor trail Are we a vapor trail? Vapor trail.
