"A Ghost To Live With" lyrics

I found a ghost to live with
She doesn't know my name
We pass in total silence
Through endless walks of shame
The war's been done for ages
The culprit's have been blamed
We're picking up the pieces
The black box still remains

And I'm telling you
This ain't a house or home
But it's got views
Of people carved in stone

No gunfire in the kitchen
Some things have moved, I see
I was never much for changes
But this was never up to me
Familiar is the stranger
Who's sitting in your seat
We stopped setting the table
Now neither of us eat

And I'm telling you
This ain't a house or home
I'm undoing screws
That held together bones

You're a life I can't stop living
You're a gift I can't stop giving
I don't hate you but I'm getting there
A few more nights should do
Don't give an inch, it's unforgiving
In a race that no one's winning
I don't miss you while you're lying there
Then again, sometimes, I do

You're a life I can't stop living
You're a gift I can't stop giving
I don't hate you but I'm getting there
A few more nights should do
Don't give an inch, it's unforgiving
In a race that no one's winning
I don't miss you while you're lying there
Then again, sometimes, I do

I found a ghost to live with
She doesn't know my name
