Текст песни: The Novelty of Haunting + перевод

The last thing I remember1

The car was falling straight into the lake

Crashed into the surface.2

The airbags suffocated me and I

Woke up in the morning

And it felt just like a dream

Shutting off without a purpose

Cutting to a different scene

I jumped out of the shower

Put on the clothes I’d just had on before

Stood still for a moment

I toweled off and noticed when I

Looked at my reflection

That I looked just like a ghost

I was pale, I was translucent

I was cool and decomposed

I think your demons need some exorcise

It’s been over a year now

The novelty of haunting has worn off

It was cool for a while

My funeral was decent and I

Want to see my friends now

But I don’t want to be a creep

Floating silent in the corner

With their bodies fast asleep.3

It’s all sort of confusing

I don’t know what to do with my dead self

Waiting for an afterlife

But I don’t think it’s happening and I

Wish my soul could end up

Where my body now resides

Miles down into the soil

With a ribcage full of flies

I think your demons need some exorcise4
