Kill a Ghost

Well they say that you can't kill a ghost
But I'll burn down a building with your ghost inside
One of these days

I'll pick each piece of wood precisely
Pour some kerosene
And enjoy the blaze

Well they say that you can't kill a ghost
But they haven't met me when
My mind's been made

And it's just me in my rocking chair on this porch
My lighter's ready
When you want to test your fate

Well they say that you can't kill the devil
But evil's impatient
I've got time to wait

I'll wait it out til you get tired
Let your guard down
And fall into my bait

Well they say that you can't kill the devil
But they haven't met me when my mind's been made

And it's just me and my rocking chair on this porch
My shotgun's ready
When you want to test your fate

You don't get to haunt me no more
I'm done reliving nightmares

You don't get to torture me no more
I won't relive that life
You don't get to hurt me no more
I'm done reliving nightmares
Done with the devil, done with ghosts,
Just got my shotgun and kerosene

Done with the devil, done with ghosts,
Just need my two hands and me

Well they say that violence ain't the answer
But they also turn their heads away from the bruised

And once it gets to a certain point
I'd rather be scary than abused

Well they say that violence ain't the answer
But they haven't met me when my mind's been made

And it's just me in my rocking chair on this porch

I'm all ready when you want to test your fate
