kellen murphy - ghosts of halloween كلمات الأغنية

[verse 1]
halloween 2018
i was out with my friends
we ran through the neighborhoods
like burglars, scavenging what was left
of the candy in the late october night
vultures picking at carcasses
of previously ransacked houses

[verse 2]
our socks were wet
from the soggy leaves
and the nighttime puddles, reflecting the moonlight
me and three friends dressed up as beatles through the eras
we walked up l avenue near the middlе school

[verse 3]
we knocked on the door of a party
thеy asked “does anyone play the guitar”
i sheepishly raised my hand and said “i do”
i was handed a taylor with a capo and a pick
they told me to play whatever i wanted
i stood there with tens of unknown eyes staring at me
i played “here comes the sun,” but
i was dressed as john
[verse 4]
they mumbled along with my playing
but they didn’t know the words
they told me to play something they know
so i sucked up my integrity
and i played “wonderwall”
for a room full of drunk twenty_somethings

[verse 5]
we left soon after, kids out into the night
the beatles had disbanded, and ringo quit the band
we walked to a friend’s house
our pillowcases sagging under weight
we sat in a childhood bedroom
eating snickers and talking loud
i remember taking off my circular
blue_tinted glasses

[verse 6]
that i got in washington, dc
from a vendor out on the street
on our way to the memorial
of the battle of iwo jima

[verse 7]
the monolith of men holding up a flag
enormous under a clear sky
it was the middle of summer
probably july or something
i was an outcast among peers much smarter than myself
i burned a bridge that trip
with gasoline and all the works
[verse 8]
a bridge that brings me back
to halloween, it was 2022
i’m glad i burned that bridge so way back then
an outcry flooded throughout the whole town
an earned exile, something that should’ve been more
but at least the word got out

[verse 9]
looking back to a smaller version of me
standing in a large room
the jfk center for the arts overlooking the river
i never felt so alone
secluded, by myself

[verse 10]
but now, i’m tethered to others more
closer to friends i’ve had forever
thankful for their place in my life
looking back and missing friends still
i used to have them
i still pretend my cat’s alive
but i know he died happy

[verse 11]
but tonight i sit inside my bed
playing guitar, tapping my phone
an orange lamp coloring my room
a street light out the window
i reflect on these past halloweens
and i smile
