[Funeral for a Friend - Ghosts lyrics]
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 a little girl
One little wonder with her
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
She could not forget
The price you pay is never worth
The pain to suffer the abuse
Lie down and sleep with all your ghosts
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 a little girl
One little wonder with her
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
She could not forget
The price you pay is never worth
The pain to suffer the abuse
Lie down and sleep with all your ghosts
