Feeding on a Ghost

Chorus

Taste the dirt and the empty air

Taste the dirt

Living off the ghost of what was there

Feeding on a ghost

Verse 1

Stumbled down the side of the open road

Nothing but a heavy load

Choking on the remains of a lucky day

Far away

Pre-Chorus

I looked for gold

I looked for more

I looked for open doors

Chorus

Taste the dirt and the empty air

Taste the dirt

Living off the ghost of what was there

Feeding on a ghost

Verse 2

Black smoke rising where the hopes used to stay

Burning every wish away

Bitterness is biting through the velvet skin

Looking thin

Pre-Chorus

I wanted heat

I wanted cold

I wanted something bold

Chorus

Taste the dirt and the empty air

Taste the dirt

Living off the ghost of what was there

Feeding on a ghost

Bridge

Treading on the splinters of the crown

Sinking low

Weight of it pulling me down

Watching it go

Falling in the shadow of the town

Now I know

Chorus

Taste the dirt and the empty air

Taste the dirt

Living off the ghost of what was there

Feeding on a ghost
