Outer Scorpion Squadron
Summoning Ghosts: Unveiling Painful Memories in Outer Scorpion Squadron
Lyrics
If you want to conjure up a ghost
If you want to summon a spirit
Cultivate a space for the things that hurt you most
Create a space for your deepest pains
Rake the sands until they surface
Carefully examine and expose buried emotions
Blind their tiny eyes
Deprive these emotions of their innocence
Stake out your position, let your armour fall
Establish your stance, let down your defenses
Stay put til they find you, it won't take long at all
Remain in place until your vulnerabilities are discovered
Rake the sands until they surface
Continue to uncover and confront hidden emotions
Up they come, gone translucent
As they emerge, they become transparent
They're coming up no matter what
Emotions resurface despite resistance
Fools rush in and the doors slam shut
Rash actions lead to missed opportunities
Ghosts of my childhood stay with me, if you will
Memories of my past linger, if you allow
Find a place where there's water, hold you under til you're still
Find a place with water and submerge you until calm
Rake the sands until they surface
Persist in exposing buried emotions
Don't let anybody call them ugly
Do not let others judge these emotions as ugly
