Lyrics
Smoke in silence
Futile to feel futile
So let's cry a while
And smoke in silence
Drink to ghost men
Who never even met
They like us better now, I bet
So smoke and drink to them
How funny that my ghost left in similar ways
To the comfort that I take to stop the pain
Of him going away
And second-hand smoke made a young boy choke
What a sick little joke
Smoke the pack out
The rush confuses grief
But the rush is brief
So smoke the pack out
Sit in silence
Your tongue has disappeared
But words wouldn't breach my ears if you spoke
And the ghost men jeer as we smoke
How funny that my ghost left in similar ways
To the comfort that I take to stop the pain
Of him going away
And second-hand smoke made a young boy choke
What a sick little joke
I don't know, didn't know, don't think I ever will know you, man
The real you
I find myself missing a smile I can no longer see or picture
Unless it's in the picture I googled from the news report
You dreamt of star-men and a future, bright
Full of family, food, love and light
But I don't know, man
Because fuck you for leaving
Fuck you for getting in that car
Fuck you, couldn't you tell he was drunk?
Fuck you, couldn't you tell he was high?
Fuck you because I told myself for years
It should have been him to die
Fuck you 'cos you chose to get in
And you chose to leave us
I was 6 years old and you were my big bro
Dear, but not too dear enough to know you, man
I learned your laugh, post-mortem
I learned how you lived your life only once you'd become a ghost, man
Ghost man
How funny that my ghost left in similar ways
To the comfort that I take to stop the pain
Of him going away
And second-hand smoke made a young boy
Choke
How funny that my ghost left in similar ways
To the comfort that I take to stop the pain
Of him going away
And second-hand smoke made a young boy choke
Oooh
