The Ghost and the Giant -

Snake through the sand, I wasn’t foolish

I knew that you held all the power in your hand

Though not enough to save your tower

Not enough left for those you’ve devoured

But I, was the ringing in your ears

Haunting you when the lies fled your lips

And still you climb, and scale your tower

In your bliss, leaving those in your pit

Enlarged and swollen, my eyelids frozen

And I’d unfold them, but I don’t mean to start a war

I missed the part where, where I’m the problem,

I’d like to solve them, but I can’t take this anymore

So next time, you feel the need to release your

Rotten, acrimonious, hate

Surely it’s never, never forgotten

Trapped inside webs spun from your concoctions

I, was the bitter on your breath

I was the stunned when choked down the rest

Consumed the rind and claimed it sour

Somehow blamed it on those you molest

Traded truth for a ticketed train

I did it all but it was all in vain

I remember, I remember the pain

The first time I was washed down the drain

I need your help not someone else’s

But you still run away

(He said) I am the ghost and the giant

The sickest thing that you will ever see

Destroying those in defiance

The flood you’re never meant to see

The rest are sinners or they’re cowards

Let their families try and flee

I am the ghost and the giant

I am the one you can’t see
