Conversations With a Ghost
All my life I've been running
From the emptiness that's eating me
All my life I've been trying but I cannot escape thee
But what do we do but keep fleeing?
And what do we do with our broken hearts?
Do we glue them together like some fucking project?
Or put 'em on display like some sort of abstract art
Nothing is for certain in this world
No love only death
And you can barter with the reaper for some time
But he'll want that time back
Cuz we're just gathering people for our liturgies
People to send us off to our vague uncertainties
They can cry but they'll move on eventually
But not you, no you're but a ghost
Stuck with me now talking to me forever
I can try and make you feel alive
But I can't ease your suffering
So I'll let you regale about the times
When you feel most alive
Like the time that girl kissed you
Last time you said goodbye
Yeah, you always talk about that girl
You must have really loved her
And seeing you my best friend with me
I wish I could've helped you sooner
But I'm but a ghost
I'm but a ghost
I'm but a ghost
And I suffer too
From the emptiness that's eating me
All my life I've been trying but I cannot escape thee
But what do we do but keep fleeing?
And what do we do with our broken hearts?
Do we glue them together like some fucking project?
Or put 'em on display like some sort of abstract art
Nothing is for certain in this world
No love only death
And you can barter with the reaper for some time
But he'll want that time back
Cuz we're just gathering people for our liturgies
People to send us off to our vague uncertainties
They can cry but they'll move on eventually
But not you, no you're but a ghost
Stuck with me now talking to me forever
I can try and make you feel alive
But I can't ease your suffering
So I'll let you regale about the times
When you feel most alive
Like the time that girl kissed you
Last time you said goodbye
Yeah, you always talk about that girl
You must have really loved her
And seeing you my best friend with me
I wish I could've helped you sooner
But I'm but a ghost
I'm but a ghost
I'm but a ghost
And I suffer too
