The sound of separation

Now that I'm cut off from the rest of the world
If only for today
I thought I'd share some self-reflection
I can't find solace in anything that I hold close
But things that mean the most to me
Aren't as familiar as they seem to be
And I'm coming to terms with the type of man I am
We don't stand a chance

I only use my body as a shell
It's just a means of transportation till I separate myself
I am a ghost
I am a ghost
And the rest of me is gone
I need your attention to help me carry on

Have I become all that I thought I lost
I'm still seeming an outcast to almost everyone
But say all your goodbyes
Cause I'm not going anywhere
I'm just waiting for the perfect time to strike
And I'm coming to terms with the type of man I am
We don't stand a chance

I only use my body as a shell
It's just a means of transportation till I separate myself
I am a ghost
I am a ghost
And the rest of me is gone
I need your attention to help me carry on

So cut me down right to the bone
Remind me I am never alone
Dig your nails into this skin
It gave me guidance
It told me where to begin
So cut me down right to the bone
Remind me I am never alone
Dig your nails into this skin
It gave me guidance
It told me where to begin
This is the sound of separation
This is the way I deal with my goodbyes
This is the sound of separation
This is the way I deal with my goodbyes
This is the sound of separation
This is the way I deal with my goodbyes
This is the sound of separation
This is the way I deal with my goodbyes
(So cut me down right to the bone
Remind me I am never alone
Dig your nails into this skin
It gave me guidance
It told me where to begin)
