Cursive - Ghost Writer Lyrics






I'm at your secretary
Writing quips in your diary
Inflating your life story
Poor taste and rich hyperbole

Nobody asked me to do this
Yet, here I am
These exorcisms are useless
But then again…
If it's the last note I'm writing
I'll make it a grand finale

Rampant politicizing
This constant finger wagging
It's not a drama anymore
How'd your life become one big horror

Nobody asked my opinion
Yet, here it is
We're in an unholy union
With arrogance
This is the last note I'm writing
This world has never felt less inviting to me
There you go again

It's just a simple entry
Some light prose, sad and sweet
You had to go and fuck with the wording
You gotta shit on everything

Ghostwrite your wrongs

Nobody asked for an encore
Yet, here I am
This epilogue is an eyesore
It makes no sense

This is the last note I'm singing
Can you imagine such hubris got me this far?

    I wish you guys didn't hate this song so much. It's my favorite on the album and I would really like to see a live recording of it, but you won't add it to the setlists at your shows. It's ok to be a little poppy guys. It's not like you over use it and this song is as brilliant as any you've all written together. I hope you grow to love and appreciate it like alot of us do.

    Dude, if you got this on whichever late night show is the big one (idfk?), it would be... insane. "It's just a simple entry. Some light prose sad and sweet. You had to go and mess with the wording. You've gotta ruin everything." How appropriate, lol. I can see the performance now and you guys are going ham. Can't wait to see live performances of this album on youtube.
