Ghost (Grimm's Song) MP3
Lyrics:
Cigarette smoke in my garage at 3 AM
Your favorite song bleeding through the radio again
I'm sittin' on this bike but I ain't goin' nowhere
Burning through another pack, pretending I don't care
The man who loved you had to die
Just to keep you alive
Now I'm just the ghost in leather
Who traded forever for your life
Every lighter flame reminds me
Of the bridges that I burned
Had to make you hate me
So you'd never return
I'm smoking myself into shadows
In this garage where we used to hide
Every cigarette burns another memory
Of the man I killed inside
No anger left, just ashes
No fight left, just smoke
I became your ghost to save you
And now I'm the one who's choking
I'm the one who's broken
I know exactly how you take your coffee still
Know you're probably sleeping with your weapon on the sill
But I can't be the one checking if you're safe
I'm the bullet I wouldn't let you take
Saved you by becoming what you'd hate
A necessary monster, your enemy by choice
I fucked up and I can't take it back
Every lighter flame re-reminds me
Of the bridges that I burned
Had to make you hate me
So you'd never return
I'm smoking myself into shadows
In this garage where we used to hide
Every cigarette burns another memory
Of the man I killed inside
No anger left, just ashes
No fight left, just smoke
I became your ghost to save you
And now I'm the one who's choking
I'm the one who's broken
Three packs a day ain't killing me fast enough
Each drink just makes your memory rough
I work on this bike like it'll fix what's wrong
But these hands only know how to prolong
The inevitable truth I can't escape
I'm still breathing while the real me's draped
In the enemy clothes I chose to wear
A walking corpse pretending I don't care
I replay that moment like a loaded gun
Your hands were shaking but mine were numb
If I’d stayed one second, you’d be dead
So I taught myself how to leave you instead
They call it survival, I call it a lie
I’m alive on paper, but something died
When I turned my back in that burning field
I’m smoking myself into shadows
In a life I never meant to survive
Every cigarette’s a silent promise
That you’re breathing and I’m barely alive
No anger left, just ashes
No prayers left, just smoke
I became your ghost to save you
And if hating me keeps you breathing
Then I’ll wear that blame
I’d rather be your enemy
Than the reason you were laid in flames
