Bruce Willis is a Ghost

lyrics

“Hello” is all I knew to say when we first came to these Isles.
Divided by imaginary lines.
Hello? I’m cold. Will someone pick up the telephone and let me inside?
I promise I’ll dissociate my mind.
Hello is all I know to say to those I once left behind,
Stolen, lost through half-remembered shame and tear stained pride

Is that even a name?
Will they ever tire of asking?
One hundred years could barely change our fate
as someone to blame.
As the whole world collapses,
Around a myth you wouldn’t throw away

Claiming you stand for objective truth
While proudly yelling fire into crowded rooms.
A tribe of anti-tribalists.
Rigging tests demanding that we had to pass,
etched in memories of fear and broken glass,
So tell me why it’s turning out to show;

That we’re still alone,
with selves we’ll never own.
Auctioned off to men from years ago.
(Misanthropic as a rock or stone
I scowl at babies and I live alone)

I think I would be ashamed
If I weren’t such a bastard... I know
But someone finally had to say;
“Enough of the same
Let us sharpen our axes
and find those phenotypes to cast away”.

How could a wall we built for our defence
turn into a means of self-imprisonment?
Suppose it’s better the devil you know…

That we’re still alone,
with selves we’ll never own.
Auctioned off to men from years ago.
(Misanthropic as a rock or stone,
I scowl at babies and I live alone)


So long, station roads.
Where my nothingness started to grow.
It’s time to move on
from these tiny cardboard towns
But I’ll stay and drown my sorrows
just like all of the times before.
It’s painful to look back to where you came from
when you don’t know where you are.

I don’t know what you mean
I only wish I was able
to live a life that’s free
from all of your expectations
(I gave up everything so you could see
reflections of my mediocrity)
