I tried every day To make a broken record play Dust and vinyl cracking As it died I tried hard in vain To be something you could explain I stared right at the truth And it lied A faded picture by your door A film of dust across your floor But I'm not gonna be that Anymore I'm just a shadow of a ghost of a person that you thought you knew Just a fraction of the fiction that you wrote my life into If in the attic of your mind you find A photograph or two They're of a shadow of a ghost of a person that you thought you knew I drive a million hours Between the trash and wildflowers To feel the fire of being Half alive Don't sleep while evening fades Between the concrete barricades A cloud of smoke and the joke is You survive A faded dream A grateful host The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost The moments that I'm missing this The most I'm just a shadow of a ghost of a person that you thought you knew Just a fraction of the fiction that you wrote my life into If in the attic of your mind you find A photograph or two They're of a shadow of a ghost of a person that you thought you knew You thought you knew The songs I didn't sing And words I wouldn't say It isn't like you listen Anyway I believe the world's on fire So I built a funeral pyre What a poignant way To retire I'm just a shadow of a ghost of a person that you thought you knew Just a fraction of the fiction that you wrote my life into If in the attic of your mind you find A photograph or two They're of a shadow of a ghost of a person that you thought you knew You thought you knew
