Ghast Up - Dan Bull

Please, could you stop the noise?

I’m trying to get some rest

From all the undead souls

Whose voices crowd in my head

I’m floating high up in the air

No legs or arms or feet or fingers

Sentenced to be a sentient cumulonimbus (That's a cloud)

I’m not tired, I’m just restin' my eyes

And I’d be lyin' if I said the time was the best of my life

Strainin' all my effort to try, just not to pry

If you’d estimate my pain

I’d wonder what you’d guess at the line (We know)

So what if my voice is pitch-tired?

I spit fire and you’re guaranteed the fear when you’re hit by it

Get 'hind

And come down like a zip wire, hit, turnin' 'round to a spin dryer

And you get

filled up livin' in a perpetual condition of

How to remember how I got here?

Where I came from and what year?

My brain is in a fog and it’s not clear

Maybe I should just stop here

But I know I won’t 'cause I’m 'a-drifting

Never catch a break, I should just stay up in top gear

Even after the day I pass, the way

I’m still trapped in the space up here

Please, could you stop the noise?

I’m trying to get some rest

From all the undead souls whose voices crowd in my head

I’m a drifter, I don’t wanna be here

If I die now I’ll be the only one to shed a tear

How many lost souls live in fear

The specific quantity is unclear

So I’m sorry if you were expecting a twist

Nah, I’m just trying to forget I exist

Nah, you got me ghast up

You got me ghast up

No one looks up to me (No)

Except to literally (Oh)

And I never used to be like this originally

I was once a living being, living the dream

Until it seemed I’d been stripped of dignity and everything

Started burning up around me

Surrounded, first to doubt me

I’m bursting to just ask if somebody else can help me

But my mouth keeps coming up with something else

I’m too hot, tempered

I tried to speak my pain but the flames keep it censored

I remember running through the fields of Heaven (Yeah)

Now I’m here in the Nether (Now)

If I close my eyes for long enough I might feel better

But it feels like I’ve been here forever

Halfway between the sea and the desert

Still, however hard we fall, we need to at least appear together

Will it be accepted?

Guess not

I’m a ghast in a house of Hip-Hop

Leavin' the piglings that’re treating me ignorant

At least I can sleep to not get pissed off

Please could you stop the noise?

I’m trying to get some rest

From all the undead souls whose voices crowd my head

I’m a drifter, I don’t wanna be here (Hey)

If I die now I’ll be the only one to shed a tear

How many lost souls live in fear

The specific quantity is unclear

So I’m sorry if you were expecting a twist

Nah, I’m just trying to forget I exist

Nah, you got me ghast up

You got me ghast up

Please, could you stop the noise?

I’m trying to get some rest

From all the undead souls whose voices are crowding my head

They called me a balloon

Said, «Why don’t you perform under the tune?»

I said, «Why don’t you **** the **** off if that’s all you’re gonna do?»

See, normally I’m too avoided to be rude

But with all the noises cutting through

So I felt I didn’t have a choice but to cut it loose

Float like a butterfly (Sting like a bee)

Open up my eyes (Hands on the

Got to promote my anxiety, this will be dope

Don’t be like me

I felt like everyone is below me

Floating slowly

'Cause I’ve been closin' my eyes

With no hope of ever seeing skies

How has it turned, trying to try

I would have been pleased to die

I’m a drifter, I don’t wanna be here (Hey)

If I die now I’ll be the only one to shed a tear

How many lost souls live in fear

The specific quantity is unclear

So I’m sorry if you were expecting a twist

Nah, I’m just trying to forget I exist

Nah, you got me ghast up

You got me ghast up
