Ghost Palace

It’s after midnight in the ghost palace

Fifty thousand satellites blinking in the sky

Rhinestones shining on the cape of the aurora borealis

That galactic magician never says goodbye

There’s a hole in my heart the size of my whole heart

Our voices bouncing hard off the walls and the hallways

Surprising how deafening emptiness can be

I forget a lot but I’ll think of this always

Remembering a place that won’t remember me

There’s a hole in my heart the size of my whole heart

I need a placeholder, a heart-shaped lorem ipsum

Nothing fancy just a rough facsimile

Where I’m headed I won’t know what I’m missing

They say in space no one can hear you dream

There’s a hole in my heart the size of my whole heart

We’ll leave the doors unlocked, we’ll leave all the lights on

We’ll see them shine for a while, after we’ve gone

Three hundred thousand years -

Three hundred thousand years?

That just sounds like words

Goodbye ghost palace

Goodbye cool world
