Fossil Youth Common Ghost Lyrics

I watched the smoke rise from your backyard
I watched you cut that oak tree down
A burning sensation lit my lungs
As we watched the embers hit the ground

Where did we go wrong
When did we go numb

I wish I was a whisper in the wind
Maybe then you'd be listening

And then I wondered what I'd have to do To get out of this situation to cut out all sense of hesitation
To put a nail in the coffin and bury me in the dirt

Silence stirs like scissor tongues that cut our lips with every word
Some days I wish we didn't speak
Every night I lay awake

You're my common ghost
