Ghosts

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Congratulations it's a boy Buried underneath the afterbirth of joy Sticks and stones will always break His bones can barely take the weight Of your breath breathing down his neck again [Chorus] Keep it to yourself You don't need to ask Everything was golden Memories will last [Verse 1] Your family a little girl One little wonder with her back against the wall Kisses at bedtime never meant A life that came to represent Failings that she could not forget again [Chorus] Keep it to yourself You don't need to ask Everything was golden Memories will last [Bridge] She could not forget Breathing down his neck She could not forget [Outro] The price you pay is never worth The pain to suffer the abuse Lie down and sleep with all your ghosts
