Weekend Ghosts

Lyrics

Verse 1
Plastic cup
Purple tongue
Eyes like fire alarms
Going off at once

Paycheck
Ashtray
Timeline full of fake vacations
We just smoke the breaks away

You say
“Call in sick”
On a Tuesday night
Hit that little baggie
’Til the screen goes white

Chorus
We’re weekend ghosts
In the bathroom mirror
Hands on the sink
Like the truth gets clearer

We hate that grind
But we’re still in line
Heartbeats racing
Under fluorescent skies

We’re weekend ghosts
And we fade by Monday
Chasing that high
Just to kill the Sunday

Verse 2
You pop one
I pour two
Laughing as the ceiling
Starts to bend in blue

Clock in
Clock out
Whole life shrinking
To a login
Logout

You say
“One more hit
Then I’ll change my life”
But the sun comes up
And you miss your flight (again)

Chorus
We’re weekend ghosts
In the bathroom mirror
Hands on the sink
Like the truth gets clearer

We hate that grind
But we’re still in line
Heartbeats racing
Under fluorescent skies

We’re weekend ghosts
And we fade by Monday
Chasing that high
Just to kill the Sunday

Bridge
Tell me this isn’t all we are
Dark room
Blue light
Burning heart
You say
“I swear
I’ll quit this part”
Then lick the dust
Right off the card

Chorus
We’re weekend ghosts
In the bathroom mirror
Hands on the sink
Like the truth gets clearer

We hate that grind
But we’re still in line
Heartbeats racing
Under fluorescent skies

We’re weekend ghosts
And we fade by Monday
Chasing that high
Just to kill the Sunday
(just to kill the Sunday)
