Was a Ghost Lyrics
Was a ghost
here in my house
that talks just like it knows
everything about
the road that we went down
cause it underlies
everything I kept
I know inside
my mind is numb
I counterfeit my nerve
tell me are you sick
of haunting me like this
and I R-U-S-T rust
on your version of the truth
I carefully cut out empty space
for friends I knew
another suitcase
a scar shaped souvenirs
and I've collected
every day that you're not here
another closet
of busted up skeleton bones
I'm chasing off your ghost
books stacked 3 stories high
between the pages they will find
pictures of you
am I in them too?
There's something in the sound
of car wheels at night
on the straight shot blacktop road
where I thought I'd find
the ghost I used to know
it's all in my head
I never said I don't want to see you again
but that ghost was me
and who I used to be
I can't let it go
I want to let it go
Another suitcase
of scar shaped souvenirs
that I've collected
everyday that you're not here
another closet of busted up skeleton bones
bones, you're bones
here in my house
that talks just like it knows
everything about
the road that we went down
everything I kept
I know inside
my mind is numb
I counterfeit my nerve
tell me are you sick
of haunting me like this
and I R-U-S-T rust
on your version of the truth
I carefully cut out empty space
for friends I knew
a scar shaped souvenirs
and I've collected
every day that you're not here
another closet
of busted up skeleton bones
I'm chasing off your ghost
between the pages they will find
pictures of you
am I in them too?
of car wheels at night
on the straight shot blacktop road
where I thought I'd find
the ghost I used to know
it's all in my head
I never said I don't want to see you again
but that ghost was me
and who I used to be
I can't let it go
I want to let it go
of scar shaped souvenirs
that I've collected
everyday that you're not here
another closet of busted up skeleton bones
bones, you're bones
