Matt Nelson I saw Burglary Years on October 25th, 2014 at the AS220 in Rhode Island, US. One of the BEST shows I have ever been to. So much passion and energy. I hope I get to see them more. They are really an artistic masterpiece. Everyone give them a listen. I later found this song on their Bandcamp as a single. I have been hung up on it ever since. I play it on my radio show (local college) as much as possible (along with other tracks).

lyrics

This life is so bittersweet,
And it's eating up the best of me.
I'm sorry but I have to grieve,
So please bury the past and leave.

I think you died last night and awoke back to life,
It felt too much like a blur, and you can be my ghostwriter.
If and when you come back again, I wrote you this letter,
And you can be my ghostwriter.

Scratched out my eyes for all my severed ties last night,
And deflated my lungs for all my troubled ones.
I'm such an awful wreck, it wasn’t supposed to be like this.
I know this much is true, but I can say I truly felt for you.

I think you died last night and awoke back to life,
It felt too much like a blur, and you can be my ghostwriter.
If and when you come back again, I wrote you this letter,
And you can be my ghostwriter.

Oh, but you can see right through me.
