The fourth single off of the album, Ghosts of You, was written by Shelby Logan Warne and was not originally meant to be a Kyros song–much like Esoterica. However, upon hearing the demo, the rest of the band were on board and the song made it onto the album.
According to a Discord Q&A with Shelb...
The shadow figures of the elemental night
Faking the call to live by fronting all your life
The city walls surround your inner dialogue
Instead of inner instinct crying, falling now you fight for freedom
You single out the thoughts you have, because they aren’t your own
You feel it clamber down, grab hold of your controlling throne
Inside you know the truth but yet decide to run
Away from better days for fear of feeling happy
Welcome to the real world
Can’t hide your head, don’t look away
Sunlight - where facts are always stranger than
Fiction - your blood will boil under thе
Moonlight - where confusion, misdirection
I’m falling to my knees
Hеre, I’m calling out to you
Somewhere in the real world
And the city sleeps
While I search all night and day, for the ghost of you
It happens every time you let inside the thought
Not here not there - you numb the pain away
Need I mention my intention for I fear
No girl should ever get this misdirection, no elation
Welcome to the real world
Sunlight - where facts are always stranger than
Fiction - your blood will boil under the
Moonlight - where confusion, misdirection
I’m falling to my knees
Here, I’m calling out to you
Somewhere in the real world
And the city sleeps
While I search, yeah I search - for the ghost of you
You’re second in control
Only losing my mind
You’re second in control
Is this the real world?
Sunlight - where facts are always stranger than
Fiction - your blood will boil under the
Moonlight - where confusion wins the misdirection
I’m falling to my knees
Here, I’m calling out to you
Somewhere in the real world
And the city sleeps
While I search, yeah I search - for the ghost of you
