Frankie’s got a problem
With the way you do your hair
And you think you saw a ghost
But there’s really nothing there
And the blankets at your feet
Aren’t keeping you that warm
The sun left this October
‘Cause he’d rather see the shore
That was the year
The jack-o-lanterns carved me out
It rained every goddamn day
And ended rumors of a drought
And the temperature fell below
To keep us on our toes
To capture us in misery
To rapture all our souls
But don’t you think
Fall will get the best of me
Rot and teeth
Sold in bulk with the rest of me
Doused inside
All your driven, dirty tears
You think you saw a ghost
But it’s my reflection in the mirror
The wolves will be the problem
Hungry for just another limb
But I’ve given up my heart
So there’s nothing left to spend
And someday I’ll get it back
In some sore, poor condition
‘Cause it’s been beaten down
With all of my convictions
So, I take this time in solitude
With drinks and grains of sand
Halloween is steady coming
And the Devil’s made a man
Out of all the pretty choir boys
Tempted by the Marys
“Holy Water down the Hatch”
I still hear my friend’s voice carry
But don’t you think
Fall will get the best of me
Frost and freeze
All along the cemetery
Doused inside
All my heavy-hearted tears
I think I saw a ghost but it’s my reflection in the mirror
Down, down you go
With filth and fornication
Filling up our heads with all those petty penetrations
I’d like to read a book
But would rather make a move
To be cast out as an offering
To lonesome people just like you
Don’t you think
Time will get the best of me
Love is preached
Like it’s spirituality
I’ve got spirit
I used to cheer in adolescence
You think you saw a ghost but it’s just another cheap confession
