And this is why I have decided To pull these old white sheets from my head I'll leave them folded neat and tidy So that you'll know I'm out of hiding
I've been ghosting I've been ghosting alone Ghost in the world Ghost with no home I remember I remember the days When I'd make you oh, so afraid
And this is why I have decided To leave your house and home unhaunted You don't need poltergeist for sidekicks You don't need treats and you don't need tricks
What I'm thinking is simple I'll sell apples and ice water at the temple I won't make trouble I'll pull the devil down with me one way or another
We've been running a sleepless run Been away from the baby way too long We've been holding a good night gone We've been losing our exits one by one
I'll try. I'll try, but I couldn't be better.
I'm trying to think of a way to explain this one because it's her concept song and the one I think of when I think of her. I don't know. I guess the powerlessness/sense of giving up is what does it. Just the exhaustion. Not an entirely negative exhaustion! Just exhaustion.
Even the stars sometimes fade to gray Even the stars hide away
I see the bare moon raise his big, bald head I see my friends played the fool I'll make my own way in the wide world Just now I don't want to wander too far
Say you stayed at home Alone with the flu Find out from friends That wasn't true Go out at night with your headphones on, again And walk through the Manhattan valleys of the dead
Didn't want to be your ghost Didn't want to be anyone's ghost Didn't want to be your ghost Didn't want to be anyone's ghost
But I don't want anybody else I don't want anybody else

And this is why I have decided
To pull these old white sheets from my head
I'll leave them folded neat and tidy
So that you'll know I'm out of hiding
I've been ghosting
I've been ghosting alone
Ghost in the world
Ghost with no home
I remember
I remember the days
When I'd make you oh, so afraid
And this is why I have decided
To leave your house and home unhaunted
You don't need poltergeist for sidekicks
You don't need treats and you don't need tricks

We've been holding a good night gone
We've been losing our exits one by one
I'll try.

Laughing With a Mouth of Blood - St Vincent
And I can't see the future
But I know its got big plans for me
(Oh what does it see?)
All of my old friends aren't so friendly
All of my old haunts are now all haunting me
Hideaway - The Weepies
Even the stars sometimes fade to gray
Even the stars hide away
I see the bare moon raise his big, bald head
I see my friends played the fool
I'll make my own way in the wide world
Just now I don't want to wander too far
Humiliation - The National
I survived the dinner
And the air went thinner
I retired to the briars by the pool
It gets so loud
If I die this instant
Taken from a distance
They would probably list it down
Among other things 'round town
Because what would any Elsa FST be w/o a song about crippling social anxiety?
Body Work - Tegan and Sara
I get shy in these lights
I feel my pulse doing overtime
Green Gloves - The National
Falling out of touch with all my
Friends are somewhere getting wasted
Hope they're staying glued together
I have arms for them
Take another sip of them
It floats around and takes me over
Like a little drop of ink
In a glass of water
Anyone's Ghost - The National
Say you stayed at home
Alone with the flu
Find out from friends
That wasn't true
Go out at night with your headphones on, again
And walk through the Manhattan valleys of the dead
Didn't want to be your ghost
Didn't want to be anyone's ghost
Didn't want to be your ghost
Didn't want to be anyone's ghost
But I don't want anybody else
I don't want anybody else
