Heavy, eerie song about vying for the attention of someone that was never really there.

lyrics

Running down from the hills to the town center
Across the cobblestones against my pleasure
I throw myself into the open pit fire
I know my suffering is what you desire

Chasing a ghost
That's afraid to haunt me
Scream bloody Mary, "Why won't you talk to me?"
Tie me to a post when I need you most
You watch, you laugh, you like to have me burn alive

My skin is falling off in the dead winter
Apparition at my back, ignoring these splinters
Pile up tinder in this open pit fire
The more I suffer, the more you desire

Chasing a ghost
That's afraid to haunt me
Scream bloody Mary, "Why won't you talk to me?"
Tie me to a post when I need you most
You watch, you laugh, you like to have me burn alive
