Name: Ghost
Duration: P00H03M44S
Description: I wrote Ghost about a transitional time in my life. I wanted to capture a sense of transience, a feeling of being passive in the face of change. There were times when I tried to end it all, but I'm still here and I pay tribute to the parts of me I had to let go of in order to keep going.

I wrote Ghost about a transitional time in my life. I wanted to capture a sense of transience, a feeling of being passive in the face of change. There were times when I tried to end it all, but I'm still here and I pay tribute to the parts of me I had to let go of in order to keep going.

lyrics

I can feel the weight of an avalanche
The shame that comes after grief
I can feel the pain as I graze your hand
Just outside of my reach

Oh all the ghosts
They hold me in place
To remind I am breathing

I retreat and still I can’t lose my mind
Disgraced, disillusioned belief
I can’t say the name I once left behind
Forever out of my reach

Oh all the ghosts
They beckon me to fall
Somewhere in the aftermath
I heard the ghost

Oh

Oh all the ghosts
They hold me in place
To remind I am breathing
Oh all the ghosts
They beckon me to fall
Somewhere in the aftermath
I heard the ghost

Oh

I saw the ghost
I heard the ghost
