Nolan Fedje - The Ghost on Caribou Street

There once was a house
In the middle of town
There's a ghost in the ground
There's a meaning in it's frown
The windows are frame-bound
The glass is stained brown
That ghost lived lost in sound
Screams and words that would drown him out
And he was so tired
A regret and a liar
When he lit the fire
He was the only one to burn down
Oh he was so tired
But he found the power
Oh he was so tired
But he pulled himself out the ground
Now he wanders the halls
In search of someone to talk
The resident hears his calls
And dismisses the creaks in the walls
That man would play him songs
And the man played it all wrong
Oh, but he didn't care
But death just isn't fair
The ghost felt his flame would expire
He hadn't fulfilled his desire
He felt his soul would retire
To the depths of the manor
Oh he was so tired
The mans love he required
He was under hellfire
And the man would pretend his screams weren't there
I can't be
Why can't he see me
The ghost was afraid of himself
It can't be
Why can't I scream
He wasn't afraid of much else
Years passed
The man sold the house
And the ghost lost his spouse
His soul aches and screams a sound
Some say you can even hear him now
