Small Ghosts - Lauren Auder

Stand by my crypt give me connaissance

I gave up my own name

There was no wound at first glance

So I just let you limp away

I raised the dead to gain your trust

Long overdue they’d decayed

None of our sores left apparent

But we should have soaked them that day

We’ve shown that nothing comes easy

Led myself astray and I could have stayed there

We showed that all good things sway

Led myself astray and I could’ve stayed ther

I’m sure you kept more than I flt

Any other life I’d know

I feel a small hand in mine

Such a long haunt from small ghosts

I’m sure you kept more than I felt

Any other life I’d know

And when I bloomed called it renaissance

Really I just changed my ways

Handful of years in a trance

I barely recall all I paid

I raised the dead just to turn a phrase

It’s just too little too late

Sang some fake prayers and fake sermons

I bore myself I must say

We’ve shown that nothing comes easy

Led myself astray and I could have stayed there

We showed that all good things sway

Led myself astray and I could’ve stayed there

I’m sure you kept more than I felt

Any other life I’d know

I feel a small hand in mine

Such a long haunt from small ghosts

I’m sure you kept more than I felt

Any other life I’d know

I know
