The Ghost

The silence is unusually loud tonight
The strange sound of nothing fills my ears
Then night rushes in like a crowd of nights
And the ghost of our old love appears

This strange world of darkness that comes with the night
Grows darker when it walks my way
And then it laughs while I listen for the breaking of day
And the ghost of our old love goes away

This strange world of darkness that comes with the night
Grows darker when it walks my way
And then it laughs while I listen for the breaking of day
And the ghost of our old love goes away

And the ghost of our old love goes away
And the ghost of our old love goes away

Gotcha

If you’re looking for trouble, you just found it
“Trouble” is my middle name
You don’t have to look any further
I’m broke and unhappy and totally insane

So if you still think you’re tough, come on, sing
I’ll even let you have the first lick
But I warn you, my friend
You won’t like the end
So don’t fuck with the mentally sick

Oh, don’t fuck with the mentally sick

Yeah
That’s it
