Haunt -

You still haunt me like you used to

You’re the weight on my shoulders

But it’s different than before

Because I’ve gotten older

I watched your shadow roam around the room all night

Dimly lit by the cloud covered moonlight

I prayed in silence that I might get some sleep

Cause the bags under my eyes

Expressed the words I couldn’t speak

I saw your ghost out of the corner of my eye

Darting past the window frame

And I still have that feeling in the corner of my mind

Maybe I fucked up and kept the words I should’ve said

You still haunt me like you used to

You’re the weight on my shoulders

But it’s different than before

Because I’ve gotten older

You still haunt me like you used to

And it’s the same now

Hold me under

Inhale water

Watch me drown

So I’ll stay inside

And waste every day away

The sun was never meant for me

But maybe now I’ll finally get some sleep

I rest my tired eyes to the sound of exploding arteries

And for as long as I can remember

We’ve kept our fingers perfectly entwined

Your apparition hand in mine

It was cold

But at least it was constant

When nothing else in my life was

And I’ve watched all the color fade away

And the knots in my stomach take their place

I wish I could speak up

But with you there’s only silence

There’s only silence

I’m so afraid of the silence

Why can’t I hear anything?

Why can’t I feel anything?

You still haunt me like you used to

You’re the weight on my shoulders

But it’s different than before

Because I’ve gotten older

You still haunt me like you used to

And it’s the same now

Hold me under

Inhale water

Watch me drown
