Ghostcalling

It wasn’t so long ago
That I watched your disappearing act
And I panicked when you didn’t come back
And you didn’t know
That I made my bed upon the floor
While I waited for you at our front door
So confused
So empty and so all alone
Mother said you weren’t coming home
In my gloom
I lit a candle in your room
I sent a message to your spirit
And prayed you hear it
If there’s something that you didn’t know
Something you didn’t know
When I needed you the most
I’d call upon your ghost
It wasn’t so long ago
I became the son of TV dads
They were all the father figures I had
And you didn’t know
It was you there on my TV screen
I imagined you would nver leave
So confusd
My anger was my gift my plight
I learned that a man must always fight
In my gloom
I lit a candle in your room
I sent a message to your spirit
And prayed you hear it
If there’s something that you didn’t know
Something you didn’t know
When I needed you the most
I’d call upon your ghost
This is something that you didn’t know
When I really needed you the most
I was always so alone, so alone
I’d call upon your ghost
So confused
So empty and so all alone
Mother said you weren’t coming home
In my gloom
I lit a candle in your room
I sent a message to your spirit
And prayed you hear it
If there’s something that you didn’t know
Something you didn’t know
When I needed you the most
I’d call upon your ghost
