Mukduk - Only Ghosts (Part II) Lyrics

Lightning striking
Staring like a bad child at the bloody, beaten body
Strawberry jam where his head should be
Summoning my memories

Keep it cold - no
Keep it hot
I was bold
But I just got shot
And the fragments of the morphine got all lodged up in my bloodstream
The doctors say I'm smiling, but I can't think straight 'cause I keep drowning
Like a water birth crowning: dead
While everyone smiles and laughs

I am Angela
My world is all in flames
All because of one man
And I don't even know his name

My heater got to know him, though
And, while I cry when it rains
My tears are butterfly kisses
Next to Satan's pain

Nothing takes away from seeing remains

Black shadows
White meadows
Phantoms floating in the mist
With frigid breath
And glowing eyes
Bringing things I tried to forget

These ghosts are
Just that, they're
Only ghosts

They're only ghosts
But they're in my head

Hey, chief
Guess who's back
Odds are stacked, you're gonna-have-a little heart attack
From this plaque
That I just put down
When your mind relaxed
And my tendrils took ground

Pump me with lead so I resemble swiss cheese
Replay them deepening inside my head
And you still think I'm the crazy one?! Please
I am your supper, my body your bread

While I'm around
I've got a list
Spoutin' it off
As I head to the mist

Thing number one: I must say, it was fun when I lit the match after I poured gasoline
Thing number two: I am not someone who will not bleed into you and playback the screams

Burnin' alive, barely a bone to ignite, smoldering heat for a light
Muppet of meat that you molded a wife
Now, Baphomet, bleat - and drag me back into the night

Black shadows
White meadows
Phantoms floating in the mist
With frigid breath
And glowing eyes
Bringing things I tried to forget

These ghosts are
Just that, they're
Only ghosts

They're only ghosts
But they're

In my head, I see
My Mallorie
Tonight

Clad in only feathers
In a starry river
Halo shining bright

Just burn your bridges, and walk away
From the shadow of a place
A song we've heard before

'Cause now I feel
Alone
I am stranded in a sea I used to row
Longing for the days
When she was there for me

I wish I could go back
Dry land, I can see it
But I do not know
Where this water flows

All I really know is that
These ghosts are
Just that, they're
Only ghosts

They're only ghosts
They're only ghosts
And they're in my head
