Testo Gone As A Ghost

Always knew you'd be better off leaving
Than sticking around here, feeding your demons
Got so good at making up reasons
Lie to yourself, what's one more season?

You'll break your neck if you keep looking back home
That folding chair, the throne that you sat on
Tell you the truth, it's time that you get gone Wasting your youth til' your name's on the gravestone

You'll be gone as a ghost
All the songs that you used to sing
You'll be gone as a ghost
That they don't even know your name

Out of the mouth of a modern day town crier
Your name's ringing out like holiday gunfire
Saw your face on a Wednesday night show flier
Turned your back on a second hand empire

You'll be gone as a ghost
All the songs that you used to sing
You'll be gone as a ghost That they don't even know your name

You'll be gone as a ghost
All the songs that you used to sing
You'll be gone as a ghost
That they don't even know your name
