your composed of everything that i cant give up
and a ghost keeps slamming my door
my witch love senses a friendly presence and it keeps on rattling my window blinds
im making plans for a change in terrain
and my teenage roommate got violated last night
and so my witch love leaves out a spell under a pillow behind my tapestry
laying on my mattress with one lantern to see
and a ghost keeps slamming my door
my refuge lies in the past as its layed out in film and colors and sounds long lost
if i take out the bad bits
only leave the good bits
than maybe i get the future
i should take out the bad bits
and only leave the good bits
of this present day
im preparing to breathe like a titan
and a ghost keeps slamming my door
im preparing to walk like my feet could fly
to the north
im preparing to die on the way
im preparing for many outcomes
and a ghost keeps slamming my door
it sometimes is urgent and sometimes its just not there at all but it means no ill will
i wonder if the ghost is a future me
and she keeps on slamming that door
i wonder what news she intends to bring me
her tone is too ambiguous to know
and a ghost keeps slamming my door
and a ghost keeps rattling my window blinds
