Candy shadows on the ceiling

Spinning slow above my bed

You kissed my cheek and called it healing

Now your promises turn red

Sugar ghosts in my tea tonight

All your sweet little words take bite

I still sway to the lies you told

Soft and strange in my melting soul

Sugar ghosts in my dreams you crawl

Every tender touch feels small

I keep dancing in your empty coat

With my heart in your sugar ghosts

Porcelain cups on the table

Cracked in places I can't see

You hum a tune about "forever"

But you never sing for me

Sugar ghosts in my tea tonight

All your sweet little words take bite

I still sway to the lies you told

Soft and strange in my melting soul

Sugar ghosts in my dreams you crawl

Every tender touch feels small

I keep dancing in your empty coat

With my heart in your sugar ghosts
