Romesh Dodangoda - Ghosts lyrics

Congratulations it's a boy Buried underneath the afterbirth of joy Sticks and stones will always break His bones can barely take the weight Of your breath breathing down his neck again Keep it to yourself You don't need to ask Everything was golden Memories will last Your family a little girl One little wonder with her back against the wall Kisses at bedtime never meant A life that came to represent Failings that she could not forget again Keep it to yourself You don't need to ask Everything was golden Memories will last She could not forget Breathing down his neck She could not forget The price you pay is never worth The pain to suffer the abuse Lie down and sleep with all your ghosts Again, again, again, again Lie down and sleep with all your ghosts Again, again, again, again Lie down and sleep with all your ghosts Again, again, again, again
