Raised by Ghosts

Raised by ghosts in the woods

Wandered from home 'til it was for sure she was lost

She lived there alone with her concerns

About everyone and their very different costs

Each one hangs them by their toes

But someone kicked, and now someone knows

Oh please, don’t rest your weary soul

If you live in it, I’ll live in it too

She makes her keep living on watch

Boss laid her out, but there’s no point getting upset

Prayed to the ghosts the best I could

'Cause they understood karma and I knew what he’d get

How do you take your meat

After your king cheerily concedes

Oh please, don’t rest your weary soul

If you live in it, I’ll live in it too

We laid across the water

We prayed against the sun

With eyes that burned the ornaments

And a tongue that killed to stun

We laid across the water where we’d thank everyone

Took out all we wanted and then said it’s done

Raised by ghosts in the woods

I know the world turns, and it will turn on me

I won’t wait for it, neither will she

And back to the woods we forever will be
