Living as a Ghost © 2022 by Emerald A. Behrens Grim Goblin Jack I live as a ghost I walk as a ghost no one sees no one hears I live as a ghost can you see me? can you hear me? I'm a ghost I walk the night I walk the day invisible invisible here I live as a ghost For several years For several nights I've lived alone Throughout the years Throughout the nights I alone exist as a ghost I live as a ghost I walk as a ghost No one sees No one hears I'm a ghost Can you see me? Can you hear me? crying out alone I walk the day invisible I'm a ghost . . . . [drumbeat] I survived I survived I survived the hell here alone alone alone I survived to live the tale I survived to sing about it all for anyone who will listen I survived they tear me down I don't care they call me crazy fuck that shit I know what I've been through to hell and back again and again and again and they make me go through it again it's a war zone out here I survived it's what they do it's what they do to me to you to us to women it's what they do it's what I do to survive here living as a ghost living but invisible to you to others to everyone here is it worth it? is it worth it? another day another year to survive is it worth it? to hell and back again can you hear me? do you know what I'm saying here? they thought they could kill me they tried to kill me they tried to take my life away from me well it didn't work not yet folks I'm still here I'm still here as a ghost in the day in the night crying out alone here for you…

See you in my dreams © 2022 by Emerald A. Behrens, Grim Goblin Jack will I see you in my dreams? will I see you in my nightmares? as I lay me down to sleep my eyes are covered in darkness I see visions before me here in the nightmares they're coming for me coming for me I know I know I hear you in my dreams this nightmare when I wake up running running running the life goes on it's a strange lie I'm living here when I wake up I still hear your voice screaming out crying out through the walls I know I know I know I know… I hear I hear I hear you I know I know the dead can speak I heard your voice in my dreams your nightmare came to me I know what you said I heard it all (through the walls) . . . find all the criminals kill them all find those men end their lives I know who they are I know who you are we know who you are you can't hide

Childhood TV* © 2022 Emerald A. Behrens, Grim Goblin Jack *child abuse, swearing on screen Mr. Rogers with puppets in play Sesame Street with funny characters I spent my childhood on TV watching a screen I wished was my life I could not reach the worlds inside of the screen that world was never meant for me time spent in group homes, a child unwanted never at home other children playing dress up while molested in bed the scenes on TV were never really real I wondered what had happened to my childhood TV friends soon the TV screen turned into a laptop life filled with lies and stupid fucking ads I want my TV from my childhood where's Mr. Rogers now and Sesame Street?

It's not Okay © 2022 Emerald A. Behrens, Grim Goblin Jack peeling paint and faded carpet cold cruel lights on neighbor streets never holding any warmth, I walk alone here in the dark nights are always filled with fear, voices calling from the corners, nightmares hiding in broad daylight They're filling potholes in the rain, mowing lawns down in the drought I wonder what the people do inside their homes there's a man down in the park he sitting there down on the bench watching children all at play he's got his shirt off jerking off filthy jobs I must endure to pay the rent here and the bills in a town that beats up actors, leaving them to die, cops who all shoot at will people close their eyes pointing fingers all around avoiding all their crimes they laugh and jeer here at the victims another city here another town in hell all the stupid people here who want me dead everybody wants me dead just shut your mouth just shut your mouth here
