"The Lonely Ghost"
I’m just a lonely apparition, isolated
Everyone I meet cowers in fear
A friend is long-awaited
Everything I love is outdated
Heaven insisted I look for a companion here
I’m just a lonely apparition, isolated
This desolate curse gets me aggravated
I’ve been here far longer than a year
A friend is long-awaited
It’s strenuous making friends when they think I’m fabricated
It’s grueling to fight off every tear
I’m just a lonely apparition, isolated
The day I find an amigo will be forever celebrated
The day, someone won’t steer clear
A friend is long-awaited
From this hex, I yearn to be liberated
All I need is a single peer
I’m just a lonely apparition, isolated
A friend is long-awaited
