a song for ghosts about songs about songs for ghosts

but he got the final laugh

cause he haunts her everyday
he haunts her everyday
he wouldn't miss a single day
the bitch had it coming
and she better start running
but it's gonna happen anyway

cause he haunts her everyday
he haunts her everyday
he's tormented her in every way
she apologized to him
for every little sin
but it's gonna happen anyway

a collection of undone lyrics

1. Rat Race
under hot suns
they're like hot guns, they're like hot guns
and your crimes will show
they're benign though they'll grow so

don't be afraid
of the rat race
just keep your pace
in the rat race, in the rat race

in the ra-a-a-a-a-a-a-a
rat race
you're in the rat race

so come on down
bring your cold knives, bring your cold lives

2. Hand Rolled Cigarette
and your hand rolled cigarette
and i bet
it's laced with something fine
and i be
on your hand rolled cigarette

3. Pretty Lil' Bombs
your bombs, your bombs
your pretty lil' bombs a secret
you're never gonna keep it safe enough
so hope to god
that no one knows there bombs
pretty lil' bombs
yea hope to god
that no one pulls the pins on your pretty lil' bombs

4. Parking Garage
another night stuck in the parking garage
i'm lost and my head's feeling large
from 150 things on my mind
and i can't seem to find any out sign

5. The Simplest Thing
the simplest things endure
the simplest things ensure
that we are all against a change

the complex toys we horde
the complex lives we forge
say we are all against a change

so grab your picket signs
dress it up in words and funny rhymes
and tell yourself these simple things
can not endure
they won't ensure
and that's what complex things are for

to regulate the wine
to keep your bank book in line

6. Do or Die
you've never seen a man with a gun in his hand
and you don't know what to do
when he bares on the trigger with his hair pin trigger
and the bullets coming for you

it's do or die

7. Sleep High
lets take nyquil
and stay awake
we'll play with power tools
that we got from flea markets
we'll play with chem sets
that we got from yard sales

8. Loner
i'm making funny faces in the mirror
trying to cheer myself up now
i've got myself into a mess
and i don't know how

trying to convince myself i'm
some kind of strong

but i could be wrong
yea i could be wrong

i'm not suited to be on my own
it's just not me to be all alone
i don't fill that bill
i don't fit the crowd

lyrical vent

i can't eat
don't even have confidence to go back to sleep
i can't think
cause my minds focused on those voices

those reoccurring nightmares
bring me to hysterics
its like they're pounding in my head
i never get a break

they're always shouting
and they're getting stronger, getting longer
they're getting louder, getting louder
i'm not sure what they mean
in their psycho, maniacal, ear splitting ramble
i'm not so sure just what they mean
in their psycho, maniacal, ear splitting ramble

morning grind

pretty people come into town
to run around taxi cabs in a crowd
they're in their suits and their matching shoe
with no time to be singing the blues

they're tied down by a carbon sheet
to bring home the bread every week
working late for the old homestead
i'd rather lay around in my comfy bed

i'm seeing sunshine on the morning grind
i'm thinking a fine time to make you mine
i'm thinking this grinds the perfect time
to make you mine

well me, i'm just a passerby
cut off jeans in a sea of ties
and i don't care too much for shoe
i kept it simple so there's little to lose

i'm seeing sunshine on the morning grind
i'm thinking a fine time to make you mine
i'm thinking this grinds the perfect time
to make you mine

so take a break in my comfy bed
like i said, lay around instead
it pays better than your nine to five
i'd rather live than just try to survive

it pays better to live than survive

i'm seeing sunshine on the morning grind
i'm thinking a fine time to make you mine
i'm thinking this grinds the perfect time
to make you mine

i'll make you mine
cause it pays better to live than survive

dance hall court

in a crowd of people late at night
the lights are beaming, speakers screaming
it's a lust feeling
in a crowd of people late at night
i'm contemplating strangers tonight

should i deviate from the track
or put a target on my back and sit back
till your eyes, they lock, there's nothing stranger
than walking up and falling in love with a total stranger

so give me a twist
i don't wanna miss
your hips'll rock
and you'll just drop

so do you wanna save me
from the loneliness
just take a dose and get too close
i hope you know you took the most
on a dance hall court
go!

(some verses eventually)

so do you wanna save me
just follow me on one two three
and if every g would sing with me
its all lust, greed, and ecstasy
on the dance hall court

laugh it off

repress
it seems to work the best
when i'm still crying

and i can't
confront
all this
cause i'm still hiding

cause i'm a basket case that tends to erase
mishaps, fuck ups and has a bad case
of listening to the darker side of me
he's beating me down with beat down memories

and he's still screaming

you're not good enough
you're not strong enough
you can't win
come on laugh it off

he's still screaming

look what you did
you're a monster
just like me
come on laugh it off

ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha
ha ha hahaha

now i'm
reciting certain lines
from all my stories

just the
best parts
cause i
i love those moments

cause i'm a basket case that tends to erase
mishaps, fuck ups and has a bad case
of listening to the darker side of me
he's beating me down with beat down memories

and he's still screaming

you're not good enough
you're not strong enough
you can't win
come on laugh it off

he's still screaming

look what you did
you're a monster
just like me
come on laugh it off

ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha
ha ha hahaha

ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha
ha ha hahaha

ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha
ha ha hahaha

and he's still screaming

you're not good enough
you're not strong enough
you can't win
come on laugh it off

he's still screaming

look what you did
you're a monster
just like me
come on laugh it off

he's still screaming
ha ha hahaha
he's still screaming
ha ha hahaha
he's still screaming
ha ha hahaha
