Have you met your ghost?
He says things that you won't
And the stones that he throws
Are the grudges he holds
It's the lingering doubt
In the gathering crowd
It's his stones that we love (loathe?)
And the devils cast out

Fire and flames they are possessed
Lay the spirits down to rest
The spirits are ventriloquists
They say the thing that must be said

Did you strangle your ghost
When she broke in your home?
And no time spent awake
Is just time spent alone

Fire and flames they are possessed
Lay the spirits down to rest
The spirits are ventriloquists
They say the thing that must be said

    Real good work here, guys. Steven Todd, I like your analysis; I think you're absolutely spot on.

    This is the hardest song to understand on the album, in my opinion (I really like the way the Ramona Falls guy sings, but damn if I can ever understand what he says), so really good work deciphering that chorus.

    I think it's "It's these stones that were thrown" instead of "It's his stones that we love/loathe."

    And it's definitely "And NOW time spent awake is just time spent alone."
