lyrics
Ghosts
I walk home from school.
My ghosts carry my soul.
And I walk with them and I talk with them,
and we reminisce on what we have known.
And it seems they only want to talk about the past.
Oh to reminisce and only that.
Can you see them, can you feel them?
Are they around the way they’re around me now?
Don’t be my ghost, don’t haunt me, I don’t haunt you now.
And your nostalgia is making me crass.
And I don’t enjoy visiting tombstones of your past.
Stuck on a broken time machine and oh we’re headed back.
The dial broke in fourth grade, I’ve seen hell and been past.
But I can’t be my father; a ghost among the living.
Always sneaking around always haunting.
But please don’t make of me a swollen cemetery.
Just another ditch dug for another forgotten memory.
Don’t be my ghost, don’t haunt me, I don’t haunt you now.
I died three times last year.
Once in the back of a plane, once in the back of a trailer,
and the third weight that finally crushed me,
was your discontent wrapped in your apathy.
Stop seeing through me!
Don’t be my ghost, I don’t haunt you, don’t haunt me now.
