The assignment: “The narrator of your song is a ghost. Or, the narrator has been ghosted.”
lyrics
v1:
No one told me, "shut up & sing," I brought that on myself
Living in the in between, like everybody else
10,000 hours and all you're left with is a scar
No magic powers, no lights from afar
ch:
I predict a ghost that haunts you
And he loves you the most, and wants you to live
Always keep ing close
Always there, though my time is at an end
v2:
Talkin' 'bout a world gone mad, this is not the end
Hear what the man has said, there is no why or when
A few wasted years, but there is no regret
Just disappear, the best ain't happened yet
ch:
I predict a ghost that haunts you
And he loves you the most, and wants you to live
Always keep ing close
Always there, though my time is at an end
-- some sort of bridge --
ch:
I predict a ghost that haunts you
And he loves you the most, and wants you to live
Always keep ing close
Always there
ch:
I predict a ghost that haunts you
And he loves you the most, and wants you to live
Always keep ing close
Always there, though my time is at an end
