How can I?

from Invisible by Ghostly Beard

supported by

miked This just might be my favorite GB track to-date (one of them for sure), such a melancholic vibe and memorable melody. The guitar solo is second to none. I just wish there was another long outro solo at the end...

about

Hard to believe what happened.

lyrics

I can feel you in my arms again
When I close my eyes at night
I just dream you're on my side again
Even you would understand

But whatever happened to me?
I'm rushing ahead, unlikely
I can't comprehend, now really
How can I?

I've been spinning like a weather vane
Going circles in the light
I've lost my bearings on the other lane
Trying to keep up with your lies

But whatever happened, really?
I feel like a loner, lately
I can't comprehend, now honey
How can I?

And as I stand there weary
Time has turned so dreary
My life suspended in mid air
And if you were to see me
Don't despair and tell me
How we came to ever care?

We've been fighting to the bitter end
Words more hurtful than a bite
I don't think that I will ever mend
Nothing seems so black and white, why?

Whatever happened to me?
I'm rushing ahead, unlikely
I can't comprehend, now really
How can I?
But whatever happened, really?
I feel like a loner, lately
I can't comprehend, now honey
How can I?
