The Ghosts of Right Now

I wanna take you someplace safer

Pull your pain out with my teeth

I wanna take away the ulcers burning holes into your cheeks

And I wanna bring you back to water, turn your branches evergreen

I wanna take you someplace safer

I wanna leave

I wanted to see how the light collects in the high desert heat

And you point to where the South Sister should be behind the clouds

I'm haunted by the ghosts of right now

The entire coast is out of water

It's turning different shades of grey

Like watching somebody you love

As they slowly waste away

And you looked skinny at my wedding

Sick of carrying the weight

Of all the doctors and all the treatments and all the reasons to be afraid

I wanted to see how the light collects in the high desert heat

And you point to where the South Sister should be behind the clouds

I'm haunted by the ghosts of right now

The ghosts of right now

I wanna take you someplace safer

I wanna take you someplace safer

I wanted to see how the light collects in the high desert heat

And you point to where the South Sister should be behind the clouds

I'm haunted by the ghosts of right now
