A Ghost To Live With

I found a ghost to live with

She doesn't know my name

We pass in total silence

Through endless walks of shame

The war's been done for ages

The culprit's have been blamed

We're picking up the pieces

The black box still remains

And I'm telling you

This ain't a house or home

But it's got views

Of people carved in stone

No gunfire in the kitchen

Some things have moved, I see

I was never much for changes

But this was never up to me

Familiar is the stranger

Who's sitting in your seat

We stopped setting the table

And I'm telling you

This ain't a house or home

I'm undoing screws

That held together bones

You're a life I can't stop living

You're a gift I can't stop giving

I don't hate you but I'm getting there

A few more nights should do

Don't give an inch, it's unforgiving

In a race that no one's winning

I don't miss you while you're lying there

Then again, sometimes, I do

You're a life I can't stop living

You're a gift I can't stop giving

I don't hate you but I'm getting there

A few more nights should do

Don't give an inch, it's unforgiving

In a race that no one's winning

I don't miss you while you're lying there

Then again, sometimes, I do

I found a ghost to live with

She doesn't know my name
