Ode to a Ghost

I don't wanna share you
I can't bear
Seeing you smile over there
Like a wall of smoke
The way you choke
On your words
Is deafening
You're picking at a healing wound
You know just what you're doing too
Tryna walk on water
When you can't even
Break the surface

It's the way you stare
I know what you're saying
Hear it in the air
The chords that you're playing
You've got a taste for liquor
And it shows
You say in Latin anything goes
You're walking with ghosts

You're pretty in the sunset
Can't you see?
Or is it just the flames fanned at our feet?
Take a sip of smoke, said you'd quit last week
Say it tastes like bittersweet memories
You're still the same at your rotten core
Kissing petals on your grave killed the cat for sure
You don't beat around the bush
When you bite off heads

It's the way you stare
I know what you're saying
Hear it in the air
The chords that you're playing
You've got a taste for liquor and it shows
You say in Latin anything goes
You're dancing with ghosts

And I wouldn't be the first to say it
Not even close
It's not a competition
The clock ticks on its own
Little hands
Little numbers
Pass by the time
Your smile makes the hands stop
A red traffic light

It's the way you stare
I know what you're saying
Hear it in the air
The chords that you're playing
You've got a taste for liquor and it shows
You say in Latin anything goes
