ballad lyrics melancholic piano sad singer-songwrite

piano + vocals + lsdj

this might be a liberal interpretation of the prompt "christmas ghosts" but it's where my mind went when i read that this morning, so it's what you get. happy with this one though! had fun trying to incorporate the gameboy too, was originally just going to live record singing at the piano but felt like trying something different :D

wordz:

thought i saw a ghost
but it was just you in the mirror
every year you look more pale
than you did before
christmas dinner's in the oven
and i don't wanna leave my room

another family meal
we'll feast on passive aggression
there's a narrow band of lifestyle
that we approve
won't you smile for the photo
we'll pretend we're all in tune

i will never be the things
that you want me to be
i will never be that person
again
my reflection will look different
than memories you hold dear

so here i stand,
a ghost
here i stand,
a ghost
forever
a ghost

advent diary day 7:
moreso than previous years i'm really happy with all my entries so far; i was thinking about how many formats i tried for the first time in Advent Calendars of past years, and by now i've done almost every format on here, so those "out of my element" days are getting fewer. kind of a funny relationship since the "trying new things" aspect of the event is one of my favorite things about it. maybe we'll have some later! let's see!
