lyrics

I Have No Blood--Ghost Mix
(© 2015 Walter Ehresman)

[verse #1]
I’ve moved to your country, where blood is the mortar,
the weave in the fabric of social cohesion,
the glue that replaces what government never
was good at providing for people in need.

[verse #2]
I stand on the outside of centuries’ system—
a man with no family (though some still draw breath);
A story that’s too long for telling to strangers…..
much easier to say that my blood is all dead.

[chorus #1]
For I have no blood, but I walk the earth still;
To you, I’m a ghost who is haunting your town;
An alien notion, a troubling conception;
A fate that you’d rather not think of at all.

[verse #3]
Lineage is something I never selected;
A thing that I won’t let define who I am.
The family I love is the one I’ve selected;
The blood that we share is the blood we would spill
for each other—so know that I’m swimming in blood.

[chorus #2]
For I have no blood, but I walk the earth still;
To you, I’m a ghost who is haunting your town;
An alien notion, a troubling conception;
A fate that you’d rather not think of at all. But
the blood that we share is the blood we would spill
for each other—so know that I’m swimming in blood.
The blood that we share is the blood we would spill
for each other—so know that I’m swimming in blood.
