about

A murder ballad with no murder, a ghost story with no ghost. Features my final performance on a much-loved reed organ that I no longer own. The vocals were filled out beautifully by Beck Boston and The Defeated County's Langen Neubacher.

lyrics

who will you go to and where will you run
just to escape me, my darling young one
there'll be another and there'll be a last
there'll be no future for those with a past

and I'm no longer concealing
that I just stare at the ceiling
and sadly wait for the feeling to pass

I was no monster the last time I checked
I'm just a suspect who's always suspect
full of both spoken and unspoken threats
miles of hindsight and tons of regrets

and I'm no longer concealing
that I just stare at the ceiling
and sadly wait for the feeling to pass

you're so afraid of me
and what you've made of me
you go weak
I'm so afraid of you
and what I've made of you
I can't speak

what will I tell them, what will I say
when they come asking if you've been away
maybe I'll tell them you split for the coast
and hope they don't see your malevolent ghost

and I'm no longer concealing
that I just stare at the ceiling
and sadly wait for the feeling to pass
