Conversations With Ghosts

(music and lyrics by Chad Perrone)

I spent last night yelling at ghosts

still trying to decide which one I’m mad at most

and this is how it all comes pouring out

there’s no letting things drain slowly now

I’m sadder than I let on to be

made quiet peace with losing sight of dreams

Each day playing out like a formulaic song

One foot in front of the next, just follow along

Don’t take your eyes off of me

though I’m not doing anything

Just know that I’m scared of failing you now,

of losing somehow

and though I’m not who I want to be

please don’t take your eyes off of me

And I’ll admit I need more love than I want

but it’s dark inside and I fear that part of me is gone

You don’t know the words I’ve never spoken

or seen the scars to what will always be broken

And that’s fine, I don’t need anyone to know me

but it sure would be nice if I could love more completely

I can’t change the horrors of things I’ve done

but I’m working to right the ship, this battle has begun

And though I might fail miserably, please don’t lose your faith in me.

(Chad A Perrone, Chad Perrone Music, ASCAP)
