Ghost Kingdom
We used to go to the buffet on Pendleton Pike
It was one of the only places where I had someone to look like
I'd think the waitress was sent there to look after me
But we were only there to feast
I imagined my mom in the faces like mine
Minimal in a place full of white
I wasn't the only one
But we didn't have the language at the time
It's never easy to be the odd one out
Couldn't even fit into the in-betweens
It felt like world versus me
How could I ever feel at home?
My family loves me, that I know
But there's been something missing
A familiar feeling that this is where I'm supposed to be
I'll just pretend that you're here with me
We only went to the festival a couple of times
I couldn't understand what everyone was wanting me to try
I felt like I had to protect my mom's feelings
Even though I know I'm not responsible
The food was different than what we had at home
Dumplings all lined up in rows
Tried to enjoy myself
So I put my feelings on the shelf
It's always messy to talk about the truth
I still haven't been able to talk to you
I don't know where it could lead
How could I ever feel at home?
My family loves me, that I know
But there's been something missing
A familiar feeling that this is where I'm supposed to be
I'll just pretend that you're here with me
Ooh
I don't know why they gave me up
And I don't have time to waste
I don't know if things could change
But there's no hate
But sometimes I wonder
(Why)
How could I ever feel at home?
My family loves me, that I know
But there's been something missing
A familiar feeling that this is where I'm supposed to be
I'll just pretend that you're here with me
It was one of the only places where I had someone to look like
I'd think the waitress was sent there to look after me
But we were only there to feast
I imagined my mom in the faces like mine
Minimal in a place full of white
I wasn't the only one
But we didn't have the language at the time
It's never easy to be the odd one out
Couldn't even fit into the in-betweens
It felt like world versus me
How could I ever feel at home?
My family loves me, that I know
But there's been something missing
A familiar feeling that this is where I'm supposed to be
I'll just pretend that you're here with me
We only went to the festival a couple of times
I couldn't understand what everyone was wanting me to try
I felt like I had to protect my mom's feelings
Even though I know I'm not responsible

A familiar feeling that this is where I'm supposed to be
I'll just pretend that you're here with me
