Smothering The Ghost (#40 - The Shades Fade To Black)

       Smothering The Ghost
(#40 - The Shades Fade To Black)


Speak of angels and devils,
Look at the shit the cat dragged in.
No rhyme or reason, all guilt evaded,
Ghost of a chance, of what could have been.
So many perfect chances turned wrong
All the precious pieces are gone.
Everything that once mattered,
Trampled and covered in dust.
Smothering the ghost.

   Do You Believe The Shit You Say?
   The More You Tell It -
   And The Different Versions Each Day?
   We Once Believed You Had A Soul.
   You Can Try And Hide away -
   Do You Believe In Your Own Ghost?
   You'll Now Never Find A Place,
   Hiding In The Shadows
   Cos The World Will Finally Know.
   The World Will Know You Like We Do.

Smoke and drink away your sorrows.
Your love stories end the same again and again.
And now that you're burning your tomorrow.
Is the ghost of yesterday still your friend?
So Many bridges that have burned down.
All the sparkles drowned in shades of brown.
Everything that once mattered,
Trampled and covered in dust.
Smothering the ghost.

   Do You Believe The Shit You Say?
   The More You Tell It -
   And The Different Versions Each Day?
   We Once Believed You Had A Soul.
   You Can Try And Hide away -
   Do You Believe In Your Own Ghost?
   You'll Now Never Find A Place,
   Hiding In The Shadows
   Cos The World Will Finally Know.
   The World Will Know You Like We Do.

like we do now . . .

   Do You Believe The Shit You Say?
   The More You Tell It -
   And The Different Versions Each Day?
   We Once Believed You Had A Soul.
   You Can Try And Hide away -
   Do You Believe In Your Own Ghost?
   You'll Now Never Find A Place,
   Hiding In The Shadows
   Cos The World Will Finally Know.
   The World Will Know You Like We Do.
