A Haunting

(album: The Speed Of Things - 2013)

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
