lyrics

There are ghosts in these walls and I see them in the mirror
and they walk through these halls as I am sleeping
with all my curtains drawn and my doors all bolted
I wonder how long I got til I see the light of day

And as I try to close my eyes they call out my name and my number
like some apparition summoned in led loaded long chains
they gossip and scream and preach to the choir inside my head
as my conscience holds its sweet refrain

And I know this house is haunted but I still cannot hold the ghost of you
although I have tried for these endless numbered days you have escaped me to the devils blood red moon

And I killed you while you were sleeping,
Annotations of a world only the inner could have foretold
As you gazed into that crystal ball at the tender age of 17
I took the knife right through your skull

And there was never a scream and the blood it did drip oh so slowly
As I tied that makeshift noose
I'm gonna hang gonna hang gonna hang gonna hang my body
To meet your soul in the very next room

And I know this house is haunted but I still cannot hold the ghost of you
although I have tried for these endless numbered days you have escaped me to the devils blood red moon
