Title:

“Library Ghost”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Am C G D
In the quiet halls, under the dim light,
Am C G D
Sits a lonely ghost, lost in his own plight.
Am C G D
His eyes are on the books, but his mind is somewhere else,
Am C G D
In a time where he was more than just a shadow of himself.

(Chorus)
F C G Am
He’s the Library Ghost, always there but unseen,
F C G Am
Living in the pages, in the worlds that have been.
F C G Am
Once a writhing student, now a forgotten host,
F C G Am
In the heart of the library lives the lonely ghost.

(Verse 2)
Am C G D
He turns the tattered pages, a whisper in the silent room,
Am C G D
His story lost in ages, his existence merely assumed.
Am C G D
He looks for solace in the words, finds comfort in the lines,
Am C G D
In the sanctuary of books, where his solitude aligns.

(Chorus)
F C G Am
He’s the Library Ghost, trapped in time’s cruel jest,
F C G Am
In the echoes of the quiet, where his memories rest.
F C G Am
Once a writhing student, now a phantom most,
F C G Am
In the chorus of the library sings the lonely ghost.

Testimonial:

“I’ve been a fan of Writhing Student since their first gig at the Yale Underbrook. Their music resonates with me in a way that no other band does. ‘Library Ghost’ feels like it was written for me. As a Literature major, I can relate to the solitude of a library and the loss in the pages of a book. Writhing Student’s unique blend of rock and jazz gives me a sense of belonging. Their music has become the soundtrack of my college life.”
