Haunted is the fifth single off of my upcoming album.
I wrote this song shortly after the sudden death of my Father.
The death of a loved one is a life experience that breeds unfortunate empathy. The death of a parent is like accidentally dropping a ceramic bowl of youth onto the hardwood floor.
It's a fast pass to adulthood and a swift kick to the throat that demands us to face our own mortality.
lyrics
Clean the bathroom just to pass the time
look myself in the mirror
take a deep breath, say I'll be alright
then I made some phone calls yeah I made some phone calls
I can no longer taste
coffee the way I once did
I'm torn up and out of place
I'm haunted
Count the tiles on the kitchen floor
help myself to some whiskey
I feel numb and yet my body is sore
so I took some phone calls yeah I took some phone calls
I can no longer taste
coffee the way I once did
I'm torn up and out of place
I'm haunted
