Ghosts Lyrics

A family sits down for their microwave dinner

The birds in the trees sing like always

No one thought much of a thunderclap

Distant but different

Already too late to change anything

Schoolhouses, churches, banks, homes of civilians

Existed one second, then gone in a flash

All around the planet the clouds became tombstones

The sky opened up

And the sea swallowed all that remained

In all my years wandering, staying alive

I can't recall seeing a ghost, in my head or not

Aside from the specters that float above those

Who profit from counting your dead
