Holding On Forever

VERSE 1

Like a butterfly with its wings ripped off

I can’t forget the pain that’s been wrought

I can carry my baggage for years and years

Sleep comfortably with subconscious fears

Even during moments of quiet and peace

I’m thinking of ways to bleed the creeps

If only I had my very own time machine

Could show my enemies what pain means

CHORUS 1

Holding on forever

Is my only endeavor

If I let go I will fall

Lucky if I can crawl

VERSE 2

Like a concert full of drunk ass punks

My mind doesn’t want to shut its ass up

The tiniest prick of a sewing needle

Is how a battleaxe’s chop must feel

Insults of the lowest common denominator

Feel like I’m trapped with a dominator

I carry that shit for the longest time

If only I could commit the ultimate crime

CHORUS 2

Holding on forever

Ties I cannot sever

If I let go I will drop

Nightmare will not stop

VERSE 3

Like a strongman lifting a refrigerator

I can carry heavy shit forever and later

I remember every troll and every hater

Drinking their blood is what I will savor

Chewing their flesh, dinner and a show

It doesn’t make much sense, I know

You’re always on the outside looking in

Where every evil thought of mine is a sin

CHORUS 3

Holding on forever

Using trauma as a tether

If I let go I will splat

Break my fucking back

Holding on forever

Let go I will never

Nobody will pick me up

Expect me to be tough

Ghost

CHORUS 1

You’re just a ghost

With no love to boast

Gone with the wind

Are all of your sins

The shit in the past

Is never built to last

You’re just a ghost

Whose ass is toast

VERSE 1

If I wanted ghost stories, I’d sit at the campfire

Instead all I’m listening to is a fucking bad liar

Twisting the truth like the arms of your victims

Turning the strongest men into prison bitches

A haunted house isn’t good enough for you

A dark cemetery is where you’ll forever stew

Banging on the gates in search of your freedom

As if somewhere beyond is the Garden of Eden

CHORUS 1

You’re just a ghost

With no love to boast

Gone with the wind

Are all of your sins

The shit in the past

Is never built to last

You’re just a ghost

Whose ass is toast

VERSE 2

The spiritual realm has been calling your name

Like a chorus of boos stripping you of your fame

Like a necromantic chant in a sacrificial ritual

Like a street corner sermon of a sick individual

Consider this your one and only eviction notice

It’s extermination time for the swarm of locusts

There’s nothing left here for you to feed on

No more tortured souls for you to beat on

BRIDGE

If there’s something strange in your neighborhood

Burn it to the ground with gasoline and wood

If there’s a ghost in your brain that’s causing you pain

Flush that shit out and watch it swirl down the drain

CHORUS 2

You’re just a ghost

A parasite to the host

Gone with the wind

Let the new wave begin

The shit in the past

Is never coming back

You’re just a ghost

With no bail to post

FINAL LINES

You’re just a ghost!

You’re just a ghost!

Of all the hatred I could give

You deserve it the most!
