Whalen: Music

Ghosts at the Banquet Table

(Whalen)
I know you've got stories
Things left unseen
There's more than the noble and good
And others on your sleeve

You know I've made choices
That leave you asking why
Well I've got my secrets
Things I'd rather hide

What things do you hide?
Are there motives deep inside?
Forces that enable
The ghosts at the banquet table

There is no one here but you and I
And everything we've seen
We could stay right where we are
Or we could go where we've never been
So let's strip away our guards
Reveal our naked fears
Leave nothing unknown
So everything is clear

What things do you hide?
Are there motives deep inside?
Forces that enable
The ghosts at the banquet table

These are sweet curses we own
And take everywhere we go
They bend and they build our lives
You and I both know

The ghosts at the banquet table
