Ghoul Lyrics by Hellions

Indian Summer

2015

It wasn't just embezzlement, you thieving witch, you don't know the half of it
We've been in and out of near destitution
Terrified and disillusioned
All of this on your wretched hands, you tore apart a family man
So he took a drink and then the drink took him
And it's been this way for each night since
Incredulous, track back, cheques bounce, façade cracks, we will fall apart, you open the scars
Lost in the dark, we fall you'll soon beg to be set free and see
My family stand tall with me
But you'll never get that chance
This is all that you have left

How could you laugh as you watched us fall apart?
Fall apart, two children lost in the dark

The robbed that smile, steal something from the thief, scratch and claw, through tooth and nail, but you will never take integrity from me

I learned to listen and I listened well
To a steady slew of trivial pleasures, with nothing left to kindle the blood but a sordid trust
I yearned to lust, not broken trust, you fucked it up, so back to back, you cover your tracks, but remember when you can't hide from us
Hither at the end of the river
Lave in the burning shambles, perceived as fools, you played us all, you answer to the coven call, you're hand in hand amidst the ghouls

The robbed that smile, steal something from the thief, scratch and claw, through tooth and nail, but you will never take integrity from me

I hope you hear this in your sleep
When in your dreams you cannot breathe
You'll look up and you'll see me
Taking back the youth that you stole from me

My fathers hands used to shake from the drink and the stress
Then his whole body trembled after loss and the debt
So he took a drink, and the drink took him
And its been that way, for nearly each night since
Sewing sinister seeds, in my old man's blood
He wants to push away, everything that he loved
And just today, cleaning out his cabin stall
I ran cloth over blood stains, and looked into myself

Who's the real coward here?
Who's the real coward here?

I've watched a good man drown for years
I haven't tried to stop it since I was a kid
Who's the real coward here?
I haven't tried to stop it since I was a kid

When everyone walked away, I followed suit
