Ghosts — Funeral For A Friend

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

Keep it to yourself You don't need to ask Everything was golden Memories will last

Kisses at bedtime never meant A life that came to represent Failings that she could not forget again

She could not forget Breathing down his neck She could not forget

The price you is never worth The pain to suffer the abuse Lie down and sleep With all your ghosts again Again, again and again
