Today i came by
I saw your soul in your picture
You brought life to a cold and uncaring thing
A smile that reached out through the thousand pages
All that was you staring back at me
On my screen
Here's to all of those
Who've lost themselves through the ages
To every silent ghost screaming for release
When all of those lost loves have
Finally betrayed us
I guess you'll know precisely what it means
What it means to be free
Today went by
As i was staring at your picture
We never take the time to say just what we mean
And if we do somehow it never sounds the way
It does in our heads
Or is reflected in this flickering light
On my screen
Here's to all of those
Who've sold themselves for their wages
To the clown of the crowd screaming for release
When all of those we have loved
Have finally betrayed us
I guess you know exactly what it means
To be free
Today i heard a rumour about you
They said you'd found some happiness at last
In our selfish ways it hurts to say
We've lost you
But i'll raise this toast
To the silent ghost
To the remnants of the past
