You're right, the lyric style is quite similar! Living With The Ghost has those vivid, cinematic and kinda romanticized metaphors the BOG album has as well, particularly in the verses and the bridge. The religious imagery in the bridge is also quite BOG-esque. I'd never imagined the concept of Living With The Ghost being on BOG before, but I totally agree that it would have been a thunderstorm of a song with Jon's voice back then and probably also just the overall fire that went into the BOG album.
