Do you wonder
What it's like from above?
Do you wait up
When I'm not home?
Have you stayed up
Just pacing your room
Nervous eyes charting the lines
The places that we moved
Yeah, I was a ghost once too
I was a ghost like you
Just like you
Are you nervous?
Been caught in your crimes
Do you notice
Who you left be hind?
Oh, you're sure of
So sure of yourself
Your steady hands stitching the bands
On someone else's wounds
Yeah, I was a ghost once, too
I was a ghost like you
Just like you
Yeah, I was a ghost once, too
I was a ghost like you
Just like you

I can't fall asleep here
This same sick thinking's been
Keeping me up for weeks
And I can't say I've been trying
Thinking maybe it would be better if
I let these sheets swallow me up
Swallow me up
Take me out
Can I go home now?
'Cause you didn't look at me the same way for weeks
I didn't think you would leave
And I won't pay the rent here
Can't bring myself to tell
That landlord that I live alone
'Cause then I'd acknowledge just how far you would run
And you ran
I took a trip out east to
Those mountain roads you swore
Were calling you back home
They were screaming at me
The whole time
The whole time, time, time
You said that you were leaving
You were going to Colorado
You said that I should follow
But I know the way too well
I swear I lost my car on that mountain road
I didn't die I was just
Left alone
Alone
Maybe I'll see you again someday
And yeah, we'll talk
But I'll never speak with you again

Yeah, maybe you were right
I don't know what I want
But I believe that sometime, sometime
I caught a glimpse of where
You went wrong
It's already been a year
And I can't help but feel so small
If I can still see you in my sleep, well
Why do I wake up at all?
Lately I've been hating me, mistaking me for
Someone that I once was
Lately I've been hating me, mistaking me for
Someone that you could love
Lying in your bed
Never sounded so good
But if your heart's not in it
I don't want it
I don't want it
No

Mass Pike

My body's so heavy
I've been searching all night
I wish I'd have died in that accident
Instead of being caught
Somewhere between attention span
And self-destruction
Between your fingers
A tree and a semi-truck, oh
I remember
Running in to the median
Out on that Mass Pike
My body going numb
Flashes of you behind both eyes
I shouldn't have been driving
So tired
I shouldn't have seen you leave the
Bar that night
'Cause you weren't alone
Someone was taking you home
I won't come unless you call
Otherwise I'll sit slumped, struck by
Every wrong thing I've ever said
My mouth is the humming of the pipes
That keeps you up at night
My mouth is an exit wound
I know
I wish you could see me now
Half a mind, half constructed of
Borrowed parts
There's blood in the gutter
There's ice in my veins again
But at least the sky's clear
I've got nothing but time
Thumb out on the Mass Pike
Leave the scene of the crime
I don't care about the car
I'll always care where you are
Maybe it's best that I don't
Drive for awhile, huh
Maybe it's best that I stay away from
You for awhile, huh

Great Bitter Lake recommends:
The Flooding Season
by Elijah Mann
Eli Mann is a fantastic indie folk kid. A storyteller to boot, he's got enough musical talent and songwriting prowess to make Rocky Balboa or anyone in the Godfather weep tears of sweet emotion.

Paola's music is so important. Lyric-heavy and melodic, she can make such visceral and viscous emotion out of just her voice and her guitar and what she's got to convey.

Noise pop at its finest from this rambunctious Melbourne group that thrives on louder-than-loud guitars and belted-out vocals.

The Atlanta trio find an appealing balance between their trademark razor sharp wiry riffage and freewheeling groove.

I Wish You Could See Yourself Right Now
by Gentle Organisms
The aptly named Gentle Organisms specialize in quietly radiant songs centered on tender melodies.
go to album
A solarpunk concept album set in the not-too-distant tomorrow, Tom John Hall uses elegantly wrought art rock to tell a winding tale.
