I'm a Ghost

lyrics

I never really fully carried my load
There's always helping hands to keep it in tow
Just divvying up the work so that levity depends on my family and friends
They take my burden up when it should be mine
I try to tell em but they're saying they're fine
Their heads all full of hope when they find that they're in need they can come and look for me but I'm a ghost

I'm living alone
The living is fine
Unplugging the phone and cutting the line
I'm king of my quarters but struggling
Keep my borders from crumbling
It should be easier for you to do than me
Help me pour the mortar I need

I'll keep the date and mean to stay but I bet
I'll grab some coffee, hear the latest, and jet
I'm ticking and bound to blow
Can't get it through it, can't get out
Can't with you and can't without
I used to complicate the route but I went
Now I'm stuck with no excuse to invent
Just kicking it down the road till the calls and cables stop
Out of view and soon forgot till I'm a ghost

I'm living alone
The living is fine
Unplugging the phone and cutting the line
I'm king of my quarters but struggling
Keep my borders from crumbling
It should be easier for you to do than me
Help me pour the mortar I need

I'm pacing a route from one room to the next
It's all that I know
Careful to keep to my home if I can
I'm playing the mute to what friends I got left
They tearfully call
They're treated terribly awful by me I admit

Just living alone
The living is fine
Unplugging the phone and cutting the line
I'm king of my quarters but struggling
Keep my borders from crumbling
It should be easier for you to do than me
Help me pour the mortar I need
Help me pour the mortar I need
