I Cannot Live with Your Ghost in This House

I can not live with your ghost in this house
So don't go dying on me
Don't go skipping to the next world, my friend
It won't come easily
I can not live with your ghost in this town
That empty place on our stage
The harmony you used to sing in our song
The paragraph you wrote on my page
Don't go dying on me
Don't go dying on me

I can not live with your ghost in my kitchen
Telling stories that I will never hear
The goddess calling you has turned into my devil
Sharpening her tongue into a spear
She wears the costume of a lord and savior
But look what she holds in her teeth
A dagger painted red just like a rose
And what a heart she carries underneath
Go ahead and look what's underneath
Look what's underneath

I can not live with your ghost in this house
So don't go dying on me
The next world won't unfold like a flower
There will be years of misery
You strike the match and you strike up a song
Burning bridges that I build
I can not live with your ghost in this house
'Cause it's me you have killed
And I won't be the last one that you kill
