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
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
Maybe someone would care
But I never fully appeared
'Cause all the kids thought I was weird
No I never fully appeared
'Cause all the kids thought I was weird
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 d**h was all I had feared
No I never fully appeared
'Cause all the kids thought I was weird
