Nik List - Ghost Notes

I listen closely to the ghosts within me

I'm on parole
Building my case playing my role
Making my plea.
Whatever I do I do it diligently

I'm haunted guilty bonded by their committee
Which shall it be?
A sane man in an insane world?
Or the other way around?
Care to explain? Let me expound
Gimme a minute I'll break it down

I levitate inches above ground
I have plenty on my plate
For I carry their weight by the pound
I hear them deliberate 24/7
Day and night all year round
In mono stereo dolby surround

These words aren't mine
Here I am running blind
Monitoring ghouls and tapping their grapevine
What name should I sign?
A fool but one of a kind
Is he in or out of his mind?
I'm not a gift I'm more of a grind

Should they speak in my stead?
Should I stay in bed?
Feed'em bread
Breed them purebred?
Or just sit in silence instead?

My heathen heart
The holy spot where demons rot
I have voices in my head
I have voices in my heart
Good luck telling them apart
But what are my choices
Curating noises and channeling cryptic art?

I write what I hear
I hear what they say
I'm stuck in this musical theater
This bellowing ballet
I'm just a ghost realtor
Echoing a delay

I host ghosts check my throat
What's your diagnose?
Are they ten or twenty?
My funk now sounds funky
I feel drunk my mind's a monkey
This junk's a drug and I'm a junkie
Should I skip town flee the country?
Think the ghosts would hunt me?

Switch my ID get plastic surgery
That's not a plan it's a plea
I need a plan G for my plan B
Fulfill my destiny

I hear bleeding angels dripping from the sky
Let's turn the tables maybe they'll teach us to fly
I'm grateful to have these spirits in supply
Get me a polygraph see?
I'm stable I'm unable to lie

I'm a channel a funnel
Light me a candle for I share my skin with a double
Can't seem to get a handle on my sonic struggle
Get me voodoo dolls drugs
To untangle this mental jungle

They say I need rest
That it's all for the best
But I've done all the scans
And I've taken the tests
Now I bless the unrest
So drop the speech therapist
Get me a genuine exorcist
A ghostbuster specialist

Get me some one to burn wax in my church
Someone lax who can give me a lurch
Some who brass tacks can show me what I search
Cause I've been overtaxed since my birth
