a haunting

during the screams my eyes are uncooperative

all my synapses corroded from wear

light a candle

i'm so unromantic

i am inundated by the speed of things

lock the doors

i constantly need practicing

all your information came my way so fast

only once now

only once turns upside-down

all your one-time spill out on the floor

i don't want it to end badly

i don't want you to be like all the ones before

i don't want it to get back to your sisters and your friends back home

but if you come back and haunt me

i would swear i heard you talking through the walls again

all night i'd be pretending every noise i heard was just your ghost

i don't want it to get ugly

i don't want it to be like all the ones before

i don't want it to get back to all the thugs and all your crew back home

but if you come back and haunt me

i could see you stand before me like a ghoul again

i could hear you with an understanding unlike any that i've known

i just want to feel somebody

i just want my body to be overcome for once

i just want to be possessed by all the spirit that i still don't know

and if you come back and haunt me

i could feel you running through me like i never did

i could finally know you just the way you always needed to be known

i just want to feel somebody

i just want my body to be overcome for once

i just want to be possessed by all the spirit that i still don't know

and if you come back and haunt me

i would swear i heard you talking through the walls again

all night i keep pretending every noise i heard was just your ghost
