No Ghosts

I have fond memories of you this time of year.
Candy corn and orange camo cans of beer.
But you’re my ex,
you mark the spot
In my mind I return to often and do nothing about.
But I hope I’m not haunting you.
I hope I’m not a lingering ghost.
If you were a ghost haunting me
I’d just let it go.
Somewhere a hayride still has our butt cheek prints on it.
But like our talks, they’re fading too
and I refuse not to think of you
when orange trees lean against the blue.
But I hope I’m not haunting you.
I hope I’m not a lingering ghost.
If you were a ghost haunting me
I’d just let it go I’d let it be.
Actually I wouldn’t mind
if you floated by and said boo!
Even if I startled and spilled my hot cider,
it’d still be nice to see you.

a dead hand punches through the wall for me
i reach out for the live hands of a friend and shriek
when i realize they've moved deeper into the haunted house
guess i gotta do this by myself
maybe what's scariest in't what's witchiest or hairiest
its when you look in the mirror
and don't see clearer who you are
who am i?
well i can say confidently:
i am not Frankenstein's monster (you should know)
i just feel odlly put together in the twilight glow
scare myself when i look in the mirror
scare myself when i look in the mirror
searching for yourself is like
bobbing for apples sometimes
when there are no apples to find
and the water in the barrel is cold
but at least i know:
i am not Dracula, i wont suck your blood
standing in shadows, lost myself in my hood
i cannot see myself in the mirror
i cannot see myself in the mirror
i hold my own hand now
in the haunted house

i've said this to her before, but metagirl's music is cinematic, genuine, and gentle while also always being irresistibly catchy. i am always looking out for what Elora is going to do next.
