Kill the Ghost Lyrics by Motherfolk

Family Ghost

2019

[Instrumental]

I feel like I'm trying to kill a ghost
But he keeps blocking every shot I throw
It's always there when I need it most
And even when I don't

It was gone so long I thought that it was dead
But it was always there in my head
I just don't look in its direction
For fear I'll see myself

Cause if I look too close, I start to lose focus
When one door closes, another one opens
And I pull myself together as best as I can

You probably think that I'm trying to kill myself
Cause I don't give a damn about my health
But underneath it all, I'm scared as hell
Of what comes after this

And if you look too close, I start to unravel
The stitches that all meet together don't matter
It all comes loose if you pull a single thread

And if you say too much, the words lose their weight
What I thought was profound was just marks on a page
And it all came loose when I pulled a single thread

All came loose when I pulled a single thread
