The Lashing (Ghost)

(album: Under The Sun - 2019)

Therein lies the question
What now is to be done?
Keep hiding in the shadows
Or go and face the burning son?
Lay bare for the lashing
Tie yourself up to the post
Or fade away in shame
And in time become a ghost?

I've something to admit
It's right behind my lips
And I just can't hold it in
Say it already, already, already now

Everytime she comes around
I feel it in my chest
Like a swarm of bees buzzing
With things I've left unsaid
And I know she might go running
If I open up my mouth
But I'm afraid that it might kill me
If I can't let it out

I've something to admit
It's right behind my lips
And I just can't hold it in
Say it already already already now

I've something to admit
It's right behind my lips
And I just can't hold it in
Say it already already already now
