Ghosting a Ghost

Wake up
Get out of bed
And then I
Toke up
To get
Out of my head
Because there's
Three words
Echoing
It's intrusive and I'm
Suffering
Lately
I'm scaring myself
To put it
Plainly
I'm preparing myself
For this
Daily
Drag on my health
About to drop on off
This terrestrial shelf

I know it's hardcore
It's hard work
When nobody
Talks anymore
It's closed doors
And shutters and
Gone are the days
When I'd say
The floors made of lava
I'm running from real stuff
None of it's made up
Or masked under makeup
I sigh and suck it up
My timings atrocious
Just thought you might notice
I'm spiraling out of control again

Deep cut
You're ghosting a ghost
And you know what
I'll fix it in post
Gotta
Slow up
Because I'm bleeding the host
In the deep of the night
The parasite feeds the most
Jump ship
Because I'm sinking the boat
I got chapped lips
But I'm staying afloat
Hit the
Kill switch
When I fuck up the note
Dropping the ball
Falling into the hole

I know it's hardcore
It's hard work
When nobody
Talks anymore
It's closed doors
And shutters and
Gone are the days
When I'd say
The floors made of lava
I'm running from real stuff
None of it's made up
Or masked under makeup
I sigh and suck it up
My timings atrocious
Just thought you might notice
I'm spiraling out of control again

So this is how it all starts
Next to some parked cars
And empty spots
In the middle of the
Parking lot
The smell of petrichor
And I'm petrified
That I might be
Struck by lightning
Or something to that
Effect tonight
The ace of swords
And three words
Draped in laurel
Now the emperors a pharaoh
And the high priestess is a half moon
My fourth house is on fire
My family tree is only half true
So I chop it down for firewood
The dogwood of the crosswalk
And I'm not too big on small talk
Break it off before its too long
