lyrics

It was Tuesday evening, or was it last Sunday
This medicine has got my brain thinkin kinda funny
About the concept of time, ain’t it just a flat circle?
What kind of effect could one boy have on the world
If everything we do, we already did
But no one suspects the quiet white kid
The ghouls of guilt, are giving me what for
Can’t stop thinking about the knife in my desk drawer
Everything’s shaking, the sky’s coming down
I don’t even have a car to get out of town
Suppers gone cold, the TVs gone to static
The body’s in the basement & the ghost is in the attic

They’re gonna come a-knocking one of these evenings
I think they’ve bugged my phone and put wires in the ceiling
I ripped out all the drywall and just to be safe
I threw out all my paintings art is dumb anyway
The motive was money & it wasn’t even love
To be honest I was just curious about the rush
To see the hands going limp & the eyes going dark
I’m playing God and I’m nailing the part
I wrote my manifesto on the back of a napkin
Mama don’t defend me when they come around askin
I forgot to do the laundry the clothes are in the basket
The body’s in the basement & the ghost is in the attic

The ghost is in the attic, stompin on the baseboards
I'm in the basement, mixing up the hydrogen
The national guard will have to guard me to the court
Just wait till the media puts their spin on this

The ghouls of guilt, are giving me what for
Can’t stop thinking about the knife in my desk drawer
Everything’s shaking, the sky’s coming down
I don’t even have a car to get out of town
Suppers gone cold, the TVs gone to static
The body’s in the basement & the ghost is in the attic
