The Ghost - Holly Henry

[00:08.54]I was a ghost
[00:12.37]sleeping in the walls
[00:16.16]hiding behind bedposts
[00:20.01]lost in vapid halls
[00:24.12]cold and pale
[00:27.98]trying to keep sane
[00:32.08]learning to prevail
[00:36.12]against my own brain
[00:41.67]I never fully appeared
[00:50.07][01:48.36][02:03.81][03:20.11]cause all the kids thought I was weird
[01:06.21]so i polished off the clocks
[01:10.26]and set them all to chime
[01:14.28]and waited at the docks
[01:17.90]while they sang at the same time
[01:21.83]so I made all of the beds
[01:25.72]and dusted all the chairs
[01:30.13]I got it in my head
[01:33.88]that maybe someone would care
[01:40.07][01:55.59]But I never fully appeared
[02:22.29]held my breath in corners
[02:26.43]trying to be brave
[02:30.40]watching while they mourned her
[02:34.25]a girl that could be saved
[02:38.45]kissing all her pictures
[02:42.49]wishing she'd survived
[02:46.18]reading lines from scripture
[02:50.06]like they did when she was alive
[02:55.86]and i never shed a tear
[03:03.79]cause death was all I had feared
[03:11.94]no I never fully appeared
