Some lyrics from “Ghost Quartet″ that make me go absolutely feral because yes:
and the dead girl leapt upon her mother / and her sister, and her daughter, and her lover / with the rage of four generations
where’s my ghost in the mirror? / i want one too
last night i dreamed / i met myself at a tango
I’M CONFOUNDED BY MUSIC / AND BABIES AND LAUGHTER / AND STORIES AND GOODNESS / INFINITY AND LUCK / I’M CONFUSED BY THE NOTION / THAT SOMEBODY LOVES ME / AND DRUGS MAKE ME CRAZY / AND A CLAIRVOYANT TOLD ME ONCE I’VE GOT AN OLD SOUL / OH LORD I WISH I COULD SING LIKE THAT / BUT I DON’T PRACTICE ENOUGH
and the starlight i see / is a billion light years old / a ghost just like the rest of us / nothing i see is there anymore
and i don’t know if this is me at all / or just some ghost of me that i dreamed up / just to sing myself to sleep
i love the way you see the world / i love the way your soul sings / i wish that i could sing like you / i wish that i could feel things
if you can lose your temper / then i can lose my mind
oh roxie, why did you have to die? / i forgive you / oh roxie, oh roxie, oh rose
when i was a child i used to play / play with all the voices in my head
but i guess it’s time to put that to bed / i guess it’s time to let the dead be dead
and i’m haunted by that memory / of who i used to be / so gleeful, so blank, so ready
it’s ok my dear / this is a circular story
this has all happened before
I WILL TRY TO FORGIVE MYSELF / FOR LIVING IN THE DARK / FOR MY LOSS OF WONDER / FOR FORGETTING HOW TO PLAY // I WILL TRY TO FORGIVE MYSELF / FOR BEING ABSENT IN PUBLIC / AND BORED BEFORE STARS // FOR NOT REMEMBERING / FOR NOT BEING IN MY BODY / FOR NOT STARTING RIGHT NOW // I WILL TRY / TO SEE MYSELF AS I AM
she sees her eyes when she closes her eyes / her eyes looking back at her / her eyes underneath her eyelids / she is always screaming
if i told you this is special / and love is more than chemicals / that it’s me and you / and angels too / and time will end / and we’ll transcend / and rise above the ash and dirt / and baby i could never hurt you / ‘cause you’re me
but when he tuck me in / with that sad little grin / i’d think maybe i don’t wanna know
there is blood upon my robes
