“Ghost” is a single by the Canadian post-hardcore band Silverstein. The single premiered on SiriusXM Faction on October 13, 2016.
This is the first original Silverstein song including “fuck” in the lyrics. Check out what vocalist Shane Told said about it when a fan asked him about the f-bomb.
[Verse 1]
You threw it off the edge into the ocean
I never thought, it’d drift back and climb up in
Into your hands and burrow inside your head
I couldn’t stop it
[Chorus]
Cold nights in a broken home
Long talks with the dial tone
Everywhere I go in the shadows, I see your ghost
Drowning in the silent seas
You said you would never leave
Everywhere I go in the shadows I see your ghost
(See your ghost)
[Verse 2]
I lost my step, and fell to the bottom
Broke both my legs, you left me forgotten
Through the waves, I’m pulled into the depths
And I can’t stop it
[Chorus]
Cold nights in a broken home
Long talks with the dial tone
Everywhere I go in the shadows, I see your ghost
Drowning in the silent seas
You said you would never leave
Everywhere I go in the shadows I see your ghost
[Refrain]
No one can stop it, no one can stop it
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Drowning in the silent seas
You said you would never leave
Whoa, whoa, I still see your ghost
[Breakdown]
I’m torn up, disgusted, that’s what I get for always trusting
Smile at me as you’re stepping out
While spouting lies from your fucking mouth
You’re a joke, they’ll watch you choke
Inches away from the end of the rope
Your sins will slowly plague you, until you die alone
Yeah, you’re haunting yourself and not me
You have to live with it, you have to live with it
So say it again “stop attacking me”
You have to live with it, you have to live with it
So say it again “stop attacking me”
You have to live with it, you have to live...
[Refrain]
No one can stop it, no one can stop it
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
[Chorus]
Cold nights in a broken home
Long talks with the dial tone
Everywhere I go in the shadows, I see your ghost
Drowning in the silent seas
You said you would never leave
Everywhere I go in the shadows I see your ghost
[Refrain]
No one can stop it, no one can stop it
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Drowning in the silent seas
You said you would never leave
Whoa, whoa, I still see your ghost
