Go to the Light

There's a ghost in my kitchen

Eating thoughts off my plate

Every sigh

Every doubt

You lick the edges of my brain

Black blob in the corner

Then a tall outline by the door

You laugh when you shapeshift

Leave my friends creeped out

You blink those eyes

Like two orange clocks

Ticking in the dark

Waiting for me to crack

Ghosty

Why you hanging on my mind?

Changing faces every time I cry

You get bigger when I talk myself down

You shrink when I stand my ground

Ghosty

I'm too tired to fight

You're just hungry for the darkest side

If you're done

Then stop wasting my nights

Ghosty

Go to the light

Ghosty

Go to the light

You freeze when my landlord visits

You slip under the bed

You hide

You never liked her voice

Won't let a stranger see you alive

You tug my sleeve at midnight

Breathing secrets that you won't say

You rattle every picture

But you never spell your name

So what are you afraid of?

What's the chain around your feet?

Are you stuck on my sadness

Or scared of what you'll meet?

Ghosty

Why you hanging on my mind?

Changing faces every time I cry

You get bigger when I talk myself down

You shrink when I stand my ground

Ghosty

I'm too tired to fight

You're just hungry for the darkest side

If you're done

Then stop wasting my nights

Ghosty

Go to the light

Ghosty

Go to the light

Tell me what you were

Before you were this ache

Were you left out?

Thrown out?

Did someone look away?

You don't have to haunt me
