Ghosts Lyrics - Funeral For A Friend

Congratulations, it's a boy 

Buried underneath the afterbirth of joy 

Sticks and stones will always break 

His bones can barely take the weight 

Of your breath breathing down his neck again 

Keep it to yourself 

You don't need to ask 

Everything was golden 

Memories will last 

Your family, your little girl 

One little wonder with your back against the wall 

Kisses at bedtime never meant 

A life that came to represent 

Failings that she could not forget again 

Keep it to yourself 

You don't need to ask 

Everything was golden 

Memories will last 

She could not forget 

Breathing down his neck 

But she could not forget 

The price you pay is never worth 

The pain to suffer the abuse 

Lay down and sleep with all the ghosts 

Again, again, again, again 

Lay down and sleep with all the ghosts 

Again, again, again, again 

Lay down and sleep with all the ghosts 

Again, again, again, again
