Ghost

Dwell 03:10
I've carried you inside my mind For my entire life Head in my hands Weighed down Any lower and I'd be in the ground I'm wasting breath And I'm wasting space Doubled over from the pain I'd give anything not to feel this way Nobody gives a shit Unless you feel like them And I'm starting to think That you never cared I feel gutted So much for friendship But that's how it always is You'll leave And I'll dwell on it I still reside in this broken home I can cover up the cracks in the walls But there's no fixing the nights I have spent alone I've carried you inside my mind For my entire life Head in my hands Weighed down Any lower and I'd be in the ground Misery loves company And I'm here to stay I can never say what I mean Cause my anxiety is a conscious being It's got me by the throat Strangling It's fucking suffocating I know we all die alone But I didn't know that living would be this cold

Haunt 04:26
You still haunt me like you used to You're the weight on my shoulders But it's different than before Cause I've gotten older I watched your shadow roam around the room all night Dimly lit by the cloud covered moonlight I prayed in silence that I might get some sleep Cause the bags under my eyes Expressed the words I couldn't speak I saw your ghost out of the corner of my eye Darting past the window frame And I still have that feeling in the corner of my mind Maybe I fucked up and kept the words I should've said You still haunt me like you used to You're the weight on my shoulders But it's different than before Cause I've gotten older You still haunt me like you used to And it's the same now Hold me under Inhale water Watch me drown So I'll stay inside And waste every day away The sun was never meant for me Maybe now I'll finally get some sleep And rest my tired eyes to the sound of exploding arteries For as long as I can remember We've kept our fingers perfectly entwined Your apparition hand in mine It was cold But at least it was constant When nothing else in my life was I've watched all the color fade away And the knots in my stomach take their place I wish I could speak up But with you there's only silence I'm so afraid of the silence Why can't I hear anything? Why can't I feel anything?

Gravestones 03:43
Everything I love turns to gravestones Just know that I miss you It's so cold, all alone Everything I love turns to gravestones I miss you And it’s so cold all alone Everything I say Falls short anyway I'll bite my tongue And close my mouth I won't cry Till the blood comes out I feel locked out From the inside With no room to breathe And I'm out of time This home I've built Is no shelter now A vacant soul Tear me down I can feel it again There's something wrong in my head I won't go back to where I've been Cause the Florida heat Still burns my fucking skin Cause I'm just a selfish prick I deserve this I'm the kid who's always sick Still sucking down cigarettes I made you a promise That I couldn't keep Cause I had to work on fixing me Maybe next year I’ll be better Maybe next year I'll quit

Ghost 04:58
Like the largest ships at sea We twist and turn Buckling under treacherous weather Leaking And I'm not sure if this vessel can take much more But we'll stay afloat like we always have Somehow And we rushed down below the main deck Seeking some kind of safety It was pitch black But I found comfort in your breathing Wrapped in darkness till morning And If we hold each other tight You can cry in my arms And I'll run my fingers through every strand of your hair I can't promise things will be alright But we'll be together We'll be together And we'll write down our feelings And fold up these parts of our lives into neat little squares Cherish the words written on each line of both papers Hold them close to revisit When things are better I still have that recurring dream Where we drown in our sleep Always awoken to the feeling of your limbs wrapped around me Like ropes binding my hands and feet And I'd stay up all night My eyes trace your outline And waited for the waves to take my life I waited for the waves to take my life Like a beautiful mirage you were gone like a ghost that haunts A ghost that lingers close by to watch everything unfold Shipwrecked but not broken Not lost, but never to be found The light peaked through the clouds Where my head resides most days And I watched you walk along the edge of the rocks Swaying back and forth The light bouncing off the tree tops Silhouetting your figure And just like that Like a beautiful mirage you were gone like a ghost that haunts A ghost that lingers close by to watch everything unfold In silence
