Darling Departed

​

Am I just an echo

Do I know I must go

Am I a presence at all?

When my, when my voice calls

Will you answer

Or let me echo through the halls?

​

Oh Oh - Oh Oh Oh Oh

​

Do you want to fill those spaces?

Will you come close or stay in the clear?

My Darling Departed

I fell for a ghost who tends to disappear

​

Oh Oh - If I am just a ghost

Do not come when i call

Oh Oh - If I am just a ghost

Do not come when i call

​

And when one door up and closes

Another opens

Or was that just the wind?

Hiding under the covers

Two distant lovers

They are making pretend.

​

​

King of Scum

​

Give me that eternal sunshine

Give me that spotless mind

Give me anything to forget your name

Like I know you've forgotten mine

​

Baby I was your puppet

With a string around my neck

Dress me up for the King of Scum

And I danced for him in his bed.

​

Baby I could take you down

Drag you out in the rain

Throw you to the ground

Kick you around

But you still would not feel my pain.

​

I choked on the smoke

I was burned by the fire

Coulda kept my distance

Shoulda resisted

Oh and I woulda been wiser

​

I understand what's going on

I understand what you done

But it doesn't make it easier.

​

Now I will sit and drink your whiskey

Each shot is sure to do me well

Darlin' I don't care if you miss me

Or at least that what I tell myself

​

I understand what's going on

I understand what you done

But it doesn't make it easier.

​

​

Still

 

With the curtains slightly drawn

Sit back and watch the world go on

Folds your hands behind your head and yawn

​

Inside you're takin' notes

With something hide but nothin' to show

Vicarious like a window

 

That's fine but I can't sit still

Always wish that I had a little more will

 

Hard to breathe in this old town

The yellow fog risin' up from the ground

So maybe I'll pass by this time around
 

There's a whole bigger world outside

And now I see it through indifferent eyes

And I coulda missed this all if I had lied.

​

That's okay, it's not your fault

Leave it up to me and I will stall

That's fine but  I can't sit still

It's okay if you've had your fill

Of me.

​

So will you stay inside

And watch someone else's life go by?

What will you find when you open up your eyes?

​

That's okay, it's not your fault

Leave it up to me and I will stall

That's fine but  I can't sit still

Always wish that I had a little more Will

That's fine but I can't sit still

It's okay if you've had your fill

Of me.
