500 Years - Against Me!

I opened my eyes as sunlight broke over the marsh.

My lungs were filled with sulphur, I was all washed up

Caught in a storm drain and into a gutter

I had no memory of who I was

500 years I was a ghost for you.

500 years I was lost for you.

There’s nothing left of me,

I can’t move on for 500 years

I followed coquina sidewalks down into the city,

The palm rats danced on the telephone wires hanging up above me.

I knew that his black eyes were watching on me.

I could feel the heat of the flames reaching out for me

500 years I was a ghost for you.

500 years I was lost for you.

There’s nothing left of me,

I can’t move on for 500 years

Somewhere in the cemetery,

I know my corpse is rotting.

My heart’s paralysed in my chest, it feels like my legs are made of concrete

Sometimes it feels like I have always been here,

Sometimes it feels like I will never leave

500 years I was a ghost for you.

500 years I was lost for you.

There’s nothing left of me,

I can’t move on for 500 years
