Lawrence Arms Ghost Stories Lyrics

Ghost Stories Lyrics

raindrops fell without rage eyes half-closed skin like dark gray metal inanimate
and cold. another flame to my face the smell of sulfur lingering away. you're
here for the perforation of the heart. precise incisions; anesthetic dreams.
it's broken like a ticking watch that need repairs shattered glass, exposed
face, waiting to be wound. wounded like a friend of mine who eased his pain by
killing not letting it kill him. when you wake up you won't remember anything.
but that night the ghosts wailed in the windstorm. cries sharp like a crescent
moon a sickle grazed against the skin my breath fogged up the window so i let
the night breathe in. i let the ghosts into my room and listened to their
screams incessant whisperings singing like music to my ears a flash of life
like lightning electric blinding blue reminded me of me.
