My young family
Parents.

F Major (Dm)

Verse 1

12 Am, you came by the house

You spoke of people you could live without

Someone’s after me, and I’m a little scared

But the next morning, you woke up dead

The policeman said it was a suicide

But your brother and your sisters said otherwise

Momma begged for a case, for a drunk they wouldn’t open

And no one listened to the words she’d spoken

Chorus (Dbm — A — Ab)

Ghost, Ghost

I see that you see me

Ghost ghost

With eyes of ivory

Ghost

Flee away from me

Into the dead, dead sea

Verse 2

Years pass by and our family fell apart

The truth still out there flickering like a flame

I hoped that I could fix it, with my own two hands

But found it better just to make amends

Misery is an evil game to play

And you drug others with you along the way

Now my own past haunts me in deep sleep

And I do the same exact thing in repeat

Chorus

Bridge

I need Christ within to fight for me

Chorus
