Lyrics

A prejudice like this cannot be topped
There's ghosts in my bedroom, and it's near 6 o'clock
Ancestors angling for their torment to stop,
beligerant whining and belittling talk
Why'm I not fighting the wars that they start
Why'm I not writing more from the heart
The hatred they built up that tore them apart
invisible to them as they are to us
Let go
The past is a perilous show
a rerun that everybody already knows
Fumbling though albums, my fingers get caught
on people I don't know who've all gone to rot
the spirits created to give me a scare, to condescend to me,
and to make me aware
History happened, it cannot be stopped
These phantoms remind me that I'm part of the plot,
a novel unfinished with too many layers,
motifs and themes that don't go anywhere
Characters killed off, randomly shot
no one to root for,
and no one to like
Let go
The past is a perilous show
a rerun that everybody already knows
