about

What becomes of one who's fixated on the past? They're unable to leave one realm and move on to the next. Unable to fully let things die. They become a ghost. And the one they haunt is themselves, slowly like a bitter poison.

Thank you to my band The Guillotine.
A Jacobin is nothing without their tool of execution. All I have to do is lay it up and you knock it down.

Many blessings to Gil Talbot of Aurat for producing and engineering this gem. I so clearly heard what I wanted the song to sound like, and knew that you'd be the only one to achieve it. Very grateful for your help.

Shout out to Hope Studio for the cover art and David Garcia for helping record vocals!

lyrics

Try me, like you I have
all the time in the world
So don't Undermine me,
I have so much more to lose
than you’ll ever know
It's just like they say about
losing a limb, you still think it's there
even after it's gone so I won't have no tomorrow because

I'm already half of a ghost
And I'll haunt you
to the ends of the earth so
don't think that you're still
safe where you stand
You won't escape my grasp
I won't let you fall
by any other hand but mine

In time
You'll find
On the corners of the streets you dared to meet,
I'll be waiting there patiently

Look up to the emblem in the sky
It's a warning, a call of shinning light
A spector through your window,
an opening I use to seize your mind

I'm already half of a ghost
And I'll haunt you
to the ends of the earth so
don't think that you're still
safe where you stand
You won't escape my grasp
I won't let you fall
by any other hand but mine

In time
You'll realize
No matter how hard you dared to try
You were always three steps behind

I gave you all the space to run,
a ladder towards the stars above,
but you couldn't reach the ledge I was on
And jealousy spun you right up

So bite me.
I dare you to despise me.
Try everything just to spite me.
I don't care what you do,
I have nothing to prove,
It will go right on through because

I'm already half of a ghost
And I'll haunt you
to the ends of the earth so
don't think that you're still
safe where you stand
You won't escape my grasp
I won't let you fall
by any other hand but mine

And the cards will fall
Into the holes
I've dug around your home

And the wounds you've wrought
Will draw blood once more
It's what I've waited for

The glory
and the folly
make such a tragic story

I told you
don't cross me
I gave you every warning
