I decided to switch things up a little bit with this new song--I sought out instrumentals that were more reminiscent of true screamo (Saetia, pg.99, iwrotehaikusaboutcannibalisminyouryearbook type stuff) and came across this wonderful instrumental by a soundcloud user by the name of eliast (you can find the original instrumental here: soundcloud.com/eliast-1/teh-skramz)
I've been itching to do more music lately, but with resources (instrumentals that I want to use) limited, I have to scrounge what I can, when I can. I will try my hardest to find instrumentals (or live humans) to continue on making music as Real Ghost. This may be the last song I put out for a fairly long time. We'll see.
PS -- I understand the text on the cover art looks weird. I made it in pixlr very quickly and the text tool didn't want to cooperate and stretch the final letters out all the way. I decided that it doesn't look that bad. I kind of like it, actually.

lyrics
Only in a dream could i find myself beside you
Harmonizing pulses with the patterns of your breathing
Silently, i calculated ways to make this last forever
But the way you operate unhinged my plan
And for that i’m sorry
I’m sorry i can’t keep up
And i dread the day you forget my name
All i wanted was your hand in mine
Your hips pressed against my waist
Kissing your face
Watching you smile in your sleep
Dreaming about you
And waking up to find you’re still here
But i am regret
Regret incarnate
A distant memory
