Old Ghosts

I tried my damnedest to kill the monsters in my mind
But I can still hear them writhing and contriving all the time
It's the rolling of the riot, built regret of a self-made pain
It's the echo of every thing I said gone bad
So dig up those old ghosts and lay them on the table
If I feel like feeling badly, I'll poke ém with a stick
But don't tell me what I need, cause I've heard it all before
I don't need your help in picking myself apart
I don't need your help in picking myself apart
The moss, still dank from weather, fights the violent October sun
And it burns away the victory of every battle I've ever won
Now the suicide brigade is stepping time on the debts I owe.
And the banging of their drums wont relent
So dig up those old ghosts and lay them on the table
If I feel like feeling badly, I'll poke ém with a stick
But don't tell me what I need, cause I've heard it all before
I don't need your help in picking myself apart
I don't need your help in picking myself apart
So dig up those old ghosts and lay them on the table
If I feel like feeling badly, I'll poke ém with a stick
But don't tell me what I need, cause I've heard it all before
I don't need your help in picking myself apart
I don't need your help in picking myself apart

Ellis was a bootlegger
Had a place at Shilshole Bay
I'm gonna make it
I'm gonna make it
It's tough when the sun is out and there's a thousand good times had
And the old man has a pretty face as he brings the bad dogs round
And the deeper I go digging so to lay that monster down
The more I see the bodies in the dirt
Ellis was a bootlegger
Had a place at Shilshole Bay
I'm gonna make it
I'm gonna make it
The oak might leak redemption but the barrel's been bled dry
He thinks that good intention gives the wickedness more time
But a mask across the mouth can't hide the hunger in the eyes
No one's left so I cast the final stone
Ellis was a bootlegger
Had a place at Shilshole Bay
I'm gonna make it
I'm gonna make it
