GHOST STEPS

Misidentified and strange
FOV will change
My heart lives in the past
Attention never lasts

The hood slipped over my face
But I swore that I could see
Concentration just a taste
Of hypocrisy consuming me

Ghost steps
Ghost steps lead me on
By the time I catch up with them
They're already gone

Misdirection left to chance and
The illusion of romance
My heart lives in the light
When the sun is out of sight

"You should slip over the fence"
Is what the steps were telling me
Never did see where they went and
The suspense is killing me

Ghost steps
Ghost steps lead me on
By the time I catch up with them
They're already gone
