Only Ghosts Video (MV)

Falling
Burning
What I wouldn't give

Just to see
Who I am yearning for
My love, please come home

I was plodding down an icy road
Towards a body buried in the snow

I rung for backup on my radio
And took a closer look

Fragmented memories
Looping through eternal night
Not much can trouble me now
Save for embers glowing bright

Oh, the 488
If I wasn't late, then my Mallorie'd be next to me
Breathing softly and defeating loneliness

I cry when it rains
Like the day she fell
I'm afraid of the ghosts
But I don't fear Hell

He's gonna burn from the inside-out
Like she did that same day
Nature sings, ashes mingle

Now I feel
Alone
I'm a stranger in a town I used to know

I am mud
She's my tree
And without her roots inside what can I be

Driving
Drinking
Lights are
Flashing

To the scene
The Circle-K
Someone took a six-pack and didn't pay

So I just stopped the crime
Like they knew I would
And they gave me a Twix for payment

When all of a sudden my radio starts to ring

"Hey chief, we've got some news
Drive your little car
To the Forest Golgotha today"

I called my wife
Let her know I'd be out late
But it went voicemail
It never goes to voicemail

Snow on my windshield
Hopped out the car and turned the safety off

My feet crunched in the snow
I followed a trail of blood
A lump in the distance
That's what I was called for

I pulled out my pistol
Just then, my blood ran cold
That dress
I bought that dress

Now I am
Alone
I am mud
You're my tree
And without your roots inside what can I be

So down, down
To the bottomless ocean
An ocean of alcohol
That's where drown

It's like peroxide for the heartache
Stinging as it fizzes on the wound
You'd think you'd get better
But they tell you not to

And then my radio rings

Hey, chief
We've got some news
Drive your little car
Down to the woods

Now I am
Alone
I'm a stranger in a town I used to know

I am mud
She's my tree
And without her roots inside how can I be
