"ONLY GHOST" (lyrics)
just another way to kill the pain
just another way to shut me down
just another day that got away
it's all coming unwound
I could pull another couple strings
to get me off the streets
but I'd just as soon embrace the sting
and revel in self-defeat
where did it all go bad?
there's no way to tell
and it's all so sad
I did this to myself
a cigarette burn always marks the site
of my last fall from grace
yeah, you know I cannot seem to wipe
this guilt from off my face
it's a fire raging deep within
pour gas onto the flame
feeding 23 long years of sin
and it always winds up the same
where did it all go bad?
there's no way to tell
and it's all so sad
I did this to myself
I would kill to hold you close
but you're too far away
you could be my only ghost
and I'd love you just the same
(swear I'd love you just the same)
I can't even find words to say how this song touched me. So heartfelt, and hauntingly beautiful. I could almost hear my own son's voice in the sentiments expressed by your son. Thanks for sharing. Your son has talent.
ReplyDeleteWhat a moving song. My son is a musician and artist as well and I too, can hear his voice in this song. Thank you so much for sharing it. Please give him a huge hug for me.
