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
