INTRO

Just one…
Just enough…
Don’t wake him…
…but I want him

VERSE 1
Bottle sweats
on a crooked line
Cheap burn truth
in a glowing shine
First one slow
just to shake the edge
Just a taste—
not a step off ledge
I say I’m fine
I keep it close
Don’t need much…
just a little ghost

PRE-CHORUS
Leave it here…
…walk away…
Don’t pour that—

CHORUS 1
Feed the ghost… (HEY)
…pour it down
Feed the ghost… (HEY)
…pour it down
Feed the ghost…
…one more round
Feed the ghost… (HEY)
…keep it down

He ain’t me…
…not yet

VERSE 2
Second glass
don’t taste the same
Burn goes down
And it calls my name
Voice gets rough
hands feel right
He steps closer
reads my eyes
I let him talk
I let him stay
Say the things
I don’t dare say

PRE-CHORUS 2
Should stop now…
…cut it off…
But I don’t—

CHORUS 2
Feed the ghost… (HEY)
…burn it down
Feed the ghost… (HEY)
…burn it down
Feed the ghost…
…one more round
Feed the ghost… (HEY)
…take me down

He ain’t gone…
…he’s close

VERSE 3
Glass hits wood
but I don’t feel
He’s the one
behind the wheel
Words ain’t mine
but they come fast
He don’t care
who they cut
Mirror laughs
with someone else
I fade out—
he helps himself

PRE-CHORUS 3
Don’t say stop…
…don’t say no…
Let him—

CHORUS 3
Feed the ghost… (HEY)
…take me down
Feed the ghost… (HEY)
…take me down
Feed the ghost…
…one more round
Feed the ghost… (HEY)
…take me down

He ain’t near…
…he’s inside

BRIDGE
I tried to quit it…
left it dry…
But he just waited…
deep inside
I locked the door…
killed the light…
He wore my face…
like it was right
If I kill the bottle…
kill the burn…

What’s left then…
…of me…
…to return…

FINAL CHORUS
Feed the ghost… (HEY)
…take me down
Feed the ghost… (HEY)
…take me down
Feed the ghost…
…one more round
Feed the ghost… (HEY)
…take me down

TAKE ME DOWN (HEY)
TAKE ME DOWN (HEY)
TAKE ME DOWN

OUTRO
I ain’t here…
(HEY)
…he’s all that’s left
(HEY)
