Best lyrics ever?

I know 'best lyrics ever' is quite a claim, but the lyrics to 'Ghost' by Stoney certainly deserves nomination.


Hear the song here.  Lyrics are below.


Looking back through the window in the door the now has closed.
The looking glass that loss has tinted rose,
And the secrets of the path we never chose.
We lose ourselves there and we fall into the arms of the unseen
Of all that never was but should have been
Beyond the day that woke us from the dream.

And it’s a little late to speculate on what we could have done.
It’s a little late to overstate the obvious 
We considered every move we made
We did what we thought best 
So release the fist of dirt into the grave
And lay the ghost to rest

Let it go with the hurt of all the promises unkept
The pride behind apologies unsaid
And the tradegy of hope we left for dead.
Because it's as fruitless as the tears in the sour milk we spilt
On the ruins of the tower that we built
And the silence and the loneliness of guilt.

And it’s a little late to speculate on what we could have done
And so easy now to overstate the obvious.
We considered every move we made
We did what we thought best.
So throw down the fist of dirt into the grave
And lay the ghost to rest.

This ones over
No phoenix from these ashes will arise
So let the tears upon the lashes of your eyes
Fall to the desert ground and bring new life.
Walk away now

I'm not saying that we can or should forget
Just don’t cloud your every sunrise with regret
The curtain hasn't fallen on us yet
The curtain hasn't fallen on us yet
The curtain hasn't fallen on us yet.
