Ghost

I saw a ghost from the porch of my parents' house
And there's so many things that I just can't be sure about
But you went along with it, you didn't question a thing

I gave a name to my pain, hoping that I could push it away
But, of course, it stayed
It hits in waves at first, and then all at once
Stood alone in the silence of what I had lost
Tried to find whoever told my mind
To speed up, to speed up, to speed up

You arrive at the gate
And they turn you away
And you're crushed by the weight
Of the games that they play
They deprive you of it
Then sell you a supplement

You turned around, I was halfway down River Street
Said, "I need to leave, this apartment is killing me"
Opened the door to my doubt and I let it all in
I breathe in and breathe out before heading back in
Always one step behind
Wondering when I'll get out, I'll get out, I'll get out

You arrive at the gate
And they turn you away
And you're crushed by the weight
Of the games that they play
They deprive you of it
Then sell you a supplement

You arrive at the gate
And they turn you away
And you're crushed by the weight
Of the games that they play
They deprive you of it
Then sell you a supplement
