The Ghosts On the Lake
Written by Lauren Sum
narrator:
the ghosts on the lake
burn a neon flame
haunting all the ends of the hollow
and all the dreamers
still running, still awake
the ghosts:
all the salt won’t heal
there’s nothing left to feel
when time drives on by and howling devils
sweep away your dreams
into dust, into dust
the dreamer:
there’s all the unknowns
but maybe the ghosts
and the dark horse following me
know the whispers
of the wind, of the wind
oohhh, oohhh...
narrator:
the ghosts on the lake
burn a neon flame
to say, “run while you’re still awake.
don’t wait, don’t wait.
don’t wait. don’t wait.
don’t wait.”
