The Novelty of Haunting Lyrics by So Many Dynamos

The Loud Wars

0

The last thing I remember1
The car was falling straight into the lake
Crashed into the surface.2
The airbags suffocated me and I
Woke up in the morning
And it felt just like a dream
Shutting off without a purpose
Cutting to a different scene
I jumped out of the shower
Put on the clothes I'd just had on before
Stood still for a moment
I toweled off and noticed when I
Looked at my reflection
That I looked just like a ghost
I was pale, I was translucent
I was cool and decomposed
I think your demons need some exorcise
It's been over a year now
The novelty of haunting has worn off
It was cool for a while
My funeral was decent and I
Want to see my friends now
But I don't want to be a creep
Floating silent in the corner
With their bodies fast asleep.3
It's all sort of confusing
I don't know what to do with my dead self
Waiting for an afterlife
But I don't think it's happening and I
Wish my soul could end up
Where my body now resides
Miles down into the soil
With a ribcage full of flies
I think your demons need some exorcise4
