(spoken, low, almost laughing)
Try and throw dirt on me
Guess when you’re dead…
anyway
Hook
Came in as a man, rose again, left the house as a ghost
Now I’m haunting everything you love and everything you post
You can try to lie, try to hide, but everybody knows
Threw me in the ground but I came back — that’s just how it goes
Verse 1
Woke up in the dark with the dirt still fresh on my chest
Brushed it off, stood up, cracked my neck, took a breath
You thought the funeral was final, thought you laid me to rest
But the dead don’t sleep when the living won’t confess
I do my thing, I know it stings, I know it’s hard to digest
Going where the wind blows, couldn’t care less where it heads
Every step I take you feel the cold run through your bed
You wanted me gone — congratulations, got a ghost instead
Came in as a man, rose again, left the house as a ghost
Now I’m haunting everything you love and everything you post
You can try to lie, try to hide, but everybody knows
Threw me in the ground but I came back — that’s just how it goes
Verse 2
Look in my eyes, you know I ain’t blind, the dead see your demons
All the little fractures, all the tiny acts of treason
You give it my face, give it my name, give it a whole season
But you can’t give me credence ‘cause that means you’d have a reason
To look at what you buried and to ask yourself what’s breathing
Underneath the floorboards, underneath the pleasant evening
I don’t need your guilt and I don’t need to see you grieving
I just need you honest — but I know that you ain’t leaving
That comfortable coffin that you built and call a feeling
Bridge
(stripped back — just bass and voice)
Dead men don’t argue
Dead men don’t plead
Dead men don’t need you
To watch them while they bleed
Dead men just walk
And dead men just see
And the one thing the living can’t handle
Is the dead walking free
(spoken)
You know I see you
Even though you don’t see me
I can always see you
Verse 3
Buried me once, buried me twice, thought the plot was forever
But every time you pack the dirt down I come back better
Sharper, colder, cleaner — call it spiritual weather
I don’t hold a grudge, I hold a mirror, hold it steady
Show you every version of yourself you weren’t ready
To meet in the daylight, keep it tucked away already
But the dead don’t care about your timeline being heavy
I’ll wait in every shadow till your hands are good and steady
Enough to hold the truth without it making you unsteady
Came in as a man, rose again, left the house as a ghost
Now I’m haunting everything you love and everything you post
You can try to lie, try to hide, but everybody knows
Threw me in the ground but I came back — that’s just how it goes
Verse 4
Salt the earth, burn the sage, try to cleanse the room
I’ll be in the ink, in the drink, in the crack of every tune
In the three AM silence when there’s nothing left to do
But sit with what you’ve done and let the moonlight pass through you
Don’t need a body, don’t need a name carved in a stone
Don’t n
