Ghost Stories

from Sweet Degenerate by Jordan Popky

/

lyrics

You creep through the gaps in conversation
Reach up from the cracks in the foundation
Of my mind
Eroded over time
I fall in
I never see it coming

I’ve forgotten how to fight or fly
I’m paralyzed, who gave you the right

Sometimes it feels like healing in reverse
Peeling open wounds to kill the hurt
I once felt fine
Like this body was mine
But I forgot
To rip away the rot

I can still feel your voice under my skin
I hate letting people see you win

And this is the closest I can get
To anger anymore
My unchecked rage couldn’t push you away
So what good is it for

Sometimes I feel like a child
Telling ghost stories around the campfire
And I don’t know if I believe them myself
