Send "Fear of Ghosts" Ringtone to Cell

Like a feeling that I'm down
Deep inside my heart
Like I'm looking out through
Splitting blood red
Windows in my heart
From a higher up than heaven
And a harder down than stone
Shake the fear that always clawing
Pulls me clawing down alone
As I spitting splitting blood red
Breaking windows in my heart
And the past is taunting
Fear of ghosts
Is forcing me apart
And the further I get
From the things that I care about
The less I care about
How much further away I get...

I am lost again
With everything gone
And more alone
Than I have ever been
I expect you to understand
To feel it too
But I know that even if you will
You cannot ever help me
Nor can I
Ever help you

    General Comment:One of the best cure songs i think.
    Of the type: long intro-few astonishingly to the point words-long outr. one of the best recepies. ITs so atmospheric, noone would notice if you slipped it in an acidparty or something...

    Like a feeling that I'm down
    *DOWN* inside my heart

    General Comment:Didn't know what this song was about until I dated a girl who was bipolar (as well as a host of other mental problems and disorders).

    Haunting, yes... especially for me, looking back on the strangest, seductive, and most explosively destructive year of my life.
