Walls Talk Back

V5.5

Title: “Ghosts Everywhere” Verse 1 Quiet in the house, but my head’s too loud Hear the walls talk back when there’s no one around Every little flicker makes my skin go pale Like the dark knows secrets and it wants to tell I don’t even sleep, I just fade all night Eyes wide open, staring holes through the light Every breath I take feels borrowed somehow Like the ghosts in my head are all waking now Pre-Chorus Tiptoe, heartbeat, cold air on my skin Something’s in the silence, trying to get in Chorus Ghosts everywhere Follow me, they’re there In the mirror, in the hall In the space between it all And I know nobody sees What keeps crawling over me But no matter what I do I still feel them coming through Ghosts everywhere Ghosts everywhere Verse 2 There’s a shape in the door when I look up fast But it melts away like a piece of the past I got old bad dreams in a new motel And they all know my name way too well I can feel their hands in my memory Pulling every hurt right back out of me Try to play it cool, try to act okay But the dead in my mind never stay away Pre-Chorus Soft steps, no sleep, shadows in my veins Every time it’s quiet, they start up again Chorus Ghosts everywhere Follow me, they’re there In the mirror, in the hall In the space between it all And I know nobody sees What keeps crawling over me But no matter what I do I still feel them coming through Ghosts everywhere Ghosts everywhere Bridge Maybe they’re just pieces Of the pain I never said Maybe they’re the echoes Of the thoughts inside my head Maybe I’m not haunted Maybe I’m just hurt Maybe all these phantoms Are my soul dragged through the dirt Breakdown Ghosts in the bedroom Ghosts in the light Ghosts in the replay Night after night Ghosts in the silence Under my skin I shut every door They still get in Final Chorus Ghosts everywhere Follow me, they’re there In the mirror, in the hall In the space between it all And I know someday I might Learn to face them in the night But for now they pull me through Every shadow, every room Ghosts everywhere Ghosts everywhere Outro Everywhere They’re everywhere I can feel them in the air Ghosts everywhere
