Ghosts

A story about a mother who killed her children, they have come back to haunt her.

Run, run away from the darkness

Doesn't even matter, catch you anyway

Try to escape this madness

No use, everybody gives in one day

So I'll see you when your mind's gone

Drifting around in the air with the rest of us

Afterward your normality won't last long

Normals turn away in disgust

Never ever looking on the bright side

When the light shines through we all run and hide

We are the disembodied footsteps 

Trying to find our way out of here

We are the chilling whispers

But trust us, we all share the fear

We are the moving shadows 

Only trying to make our presence known

We are your only friends

Because without us you are all alone

They say it's all in your head

That we're not real

That you really can't see the dead

They say you need time to heal

That there's something wrong with you

That the pills will make you right

Well, let me tell you something

We're all crazy

Everybody's got a limit

To how long they'll last

It's only a matter of time

Before you realize

That there is no escape

We are the disembodied footsteps

If you're cured, why are we still here?

We are the chilling voices

Laughing now at your senseless fear

We are the moving shadows

If you're fixed, why are we still known?

Once friends now enemies

And without us, you are still alone

Screaming

That we're not real

Pleading

For us to go away

Is the truth that you're insane?

Illusions caused by your past pain?

Or is it that we're real

Never letting go of the rage we feel
