Please note that from November 2023's Hindsight is 50/50 onwards, Uschenko started using Ghostwoman as the preferred spelling for the project. The albums are now listed on streaming platforms under that slightly altered moniker, which means that most scrobbles will now go to Ghostwoman instead.
Demons
Ghost Woman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is the last
You've had it
I'm going' home
Another long drawn out mistake on your mind
Still the only one I'd ever want by my side
And its alright
I should have never invited you up that night
I count the ways I'd like to see you die
The hourglass leaves behind a million lies
Don't need another god damned hand to hold
This living' on your time is a waste
and i fold
And its ok
And its alright
I should have left you drunk and alone that night

Your Demons won't leave me alone
I am haunted by the negative influence you possess
This is the last
I have reached my limit with this situation
You've had it
You have used up all your chances
I'm going' home
I am leaving this behind and moving on
Another long drawn out mistake on your mind
You are constantly thinking about the mistakes you have made
Still the only one I'd ever want by my side
Despite everything, I still have feelings for you
And its ok
I have come to terms with the current situation
And its alright
I am at peace with what has happened
I should have never invited you up that night
I regret the decision I made to spend time with you
I count the ways I'd like to see you die
I am consumed with anger towards you
The hourglass leaves behind a million lies
Time has revealed the deception and falsehoods
Don't need another god damned hand to hold
I do not require any more false support or companionship
This living' on your time is a waste
I realize that my time is valuable and should not be wasted waiting for you
and i fold
I am giving up on this situation and letting go
I should have left you drunk and alone that night
I regret not ending things sooner and avoiding the pain that followed
