I was a ghost Sleeping in the walls Hiding behind bedposts Lost in vapid halls Cold and pale Trying to keep sane Learning to prevail Against my own brain
I never fully appeared Cause all the kids thought I was weird
So I polished off the clocks And set them all to chime And waited at the docks While they sang at the same time
So I made all of the beds And dusted all the chairs I got it in my head That maybe someone would care
I never fully appeared Cause all the kids thought I was weird x2
Held my breath in corners Trying to be brave Watching while they mourned her A girl that could be saved
Kissing all her pictures Wishing she'd survived Reading lines from scripture Like they did when she was alive
And I never shed a tear Cause death was all I had feared No I never fully appeared Cause all the kids thought I was weird
