Single Ghosts
Open Mike Eagle Lyrics

What you eat? Let's get you fed
What do you consume? Let's make sure you have sustenance

Do you drink? Is you dead?
Do you consume liquids? Are you deceased?

I got questions, you my first
I have inquiries, you are my first experience of this kind

Tell me what's keepin' you on this Earth (yeah)
Inform me about what is preventing you from moving on in the afterlife

Why you ain't walk towards the light?
Why haven't you moved towards the source of enlightenment?

This is a weird way to spend one's afterlife
This is an unconventional way to spend the existence after death

But yo, I ain't judging, we're just talking
But hey, I'm not being critical, we're just conversing

But everything about this feels so haunted
However, everything about this feels eerie and full of ghosts

Pardon me, I'm emotional, 'scuse me if I get too personal
Forgive me, I am emotional, excuse me if I become overly intimate

Because I ain't never been with a ghost before
Because I have never been in the presence of a ghost previously

I done seen many do-si-dos
I have witnessed many dance patterns

But I don't know the steps of this ritual
However, I am unfamiliar with the procedures of this particular dance

Be gentle, it's a first for me
Please be kind, as this is my initial experience of this nature

And I'm a little scared baby in a nursery
And I am like a frightened infant in a nursery

And you a undead person but it's worse for me
And you are an undead individual, but it is more distressing for me

'Cause I'm alive, alright, but it hurts to be
Because I am alive, everything is okay, but it still brings pain

You was alive, alright I remember too
You were once alive, yes I remember that as well

It was late last year you was here from school (uh huh)
It was towards the end of last year when you were present from school (yes, I recall)

Everything was so weird and cool
Everything seemed strange yet fascinating

But, it was tight back then 'cause I would hear from you (uh huh)
However, it was great back then because I would receive communication from you (yes, I remember)

You went back and I said 'What up tho?'
You returned to your previous location and I greeted you with 'What's up?'

Couple weeks went by, no rebuttal
Several weeks passed without any response from you

You post online, and you haunt with that
You share your thoughts online, and you continue to linger through that

You both dead and alive, like a quantum cat
You exist in both realms of life and death, similar to a quantum cat

And you a ghost, but it's cool 'cause you mad delightful
And you are a ghost, but it's alright because you are extremely delightful

So I don't have to act all spiteful, 'cause that's how life go
So I don't need to exhibit resentment, because that's just how life unfolds

But y'all just captured light
But you both simply hold onto the essence of light

I hear GE bring things back to life though (if you interested)
I have heard that General Electric can revive things, if you are curious

How am I supposed to know, do I hold this moment and take it slow?
How am I expected to understand? Should I cherish this moment and approach it gradually?

Because I ain't never been with a ghost before
Because I have never been in the company of a ghost previously

I felt so alone, who knew it was all just a broken bone
I felt incredibly lonely, who could have guessed that it was just a fracture

Shoot me the address, to your haunted
Send me the location of your possessed dwelling

Apartment baby, I'll roll through
Apartment, my dear, I will come over

I recognise but don't know you
I am familiar with you, but I don't truly know you

It's like people die when they phones do
It seems like individuals perish when their phones stop functioning

What type of mess is my brain on?
What kind of chaos is my mind currently in?

Seven seconds in chaos
A brief period of time engulfed in disorder

'Cause if it cheats death it makes me question, is it text message or seance?
Because if it evades death, it makes me wonder, is it a mere text message or a spiritual gathering?

And I don't know if I'm ready, to meet a person that died
And I'm unsure if I am prepared to encounter an individual who has passed away

That talks less than a zombie, but looks perfectly fine
Someone who communicates less than a zombie, yet appears completely normal

It looks like our flesh is the same, but I'm not gon' question the game
Our physical bodies may seem identical, but I won't question the situation

I'm gon' take this number and lock you in it, right there, next to yo name
I will save this number and place it right next to your name in my contacts

I know apparitions and apparitions
I am familiar with the existence of ghosts and specters

But don't nobody haunt me like you
But nobody haunts me in the same way as you do

Who you gonna call?
Who are you going to seek help from?

Probably not you
Most likely not you

Who you gonna call?
Who are you going to seek help from?

Probably not you
Most likely not you
