The Apparition from Cannibal Animals by The Gustav Railway Band

(Ladies and gentleman… the apparition!)

I wish I could write a love song
Something to take the edge off
Of the sharp pain in my heart
Like I’m a voodoo doll in a black wooden box

Beneath the stairs where
The warmth of summer air
Is kept until the day
When we remember to care

And I’ll come to rest beneath a tree
Where I carved a heart but only filled in half the scene
And In foreboding text I wrote “forever” underneath
But I guess you never know, and I’ll see

And I’m the ghost of lost loves past
So many names and faces at my back
And my neck is sore from all the crying I did before
But now I’m all dried up and black

I’m like a skeleton, I am only death
But even my bones turn to dust when I’m left
And in my coffin there’s a phrase in Latin that I say:
Inter amare enim silent leges

And I’ll come to rest upon the ice
At the ends of this world I once cared to despise
And I’ll write a journal for nobody to read
The final line will never be written by me

I ghost write my own songs (The Apparition speaks of God)
And I know that your story is long (The Apparition speaks of God)
But can I hear it one more time? (The Apparition speaks of God)
I know it’s hard but I heard a good line (The Apparition speaks of God)
I ghost write my own songs (The Apparition speaks of God)
And I know that your story is long (The Apparition speaks of God)
But can I hear it one more time? (The Apparition speaks of God)
I know it’s hard but I heard a good line (The Apparition speaks of God)

(The Apparition speaks of God)
(The Apparition speaks of God)
(The Apparition speaks of God)
