[Verse 1]
I opened my eyes as sunlight broke over the marsh
My lungs were filled with sulphur; I was all washed up
Crawled up a storm drain and into a gutter
I had no memory of who I was
[Chorus]
Five-hundred years, I was a ghost for you
Five-hundred years, I was lost for you
There's nothing left of me
I can't move on for 500 years
Five-hundred years
[Verse 2]
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
[Bridge]
Somewhere in the cemetery
I know my corpse is rotting
With a dead heart in my chest
And not a draw left to my breath
Sometimes it feels like I have always been here
Sometimes it feels like I will never leave
I opened my eyes as sunlight broke over the marsh
My lungs were filled with sulphur; I was all washed up
Crawled up a storm drain and into a gutter
I had no memory of who I was
[Chorus]
Five-hundred years, I was a ghost for you
Five-hundred years, I was lost for you
There's nothing left of me
I can't move on for 500 years
Five-hundred years
[Verse 2]
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
[Bridge]
Somewhere in the cemetery
I know my corpse is rotting
With a dead heart in my chest
And not a draw left to my breath
Sometimes it feels like I have always been here
Sometimes it feels like I will never leave
