Cellar of Ghosts

In the cellar

Underneath the stairs

Sips of wine stole

When I was young

Candlelight ghost stories

Every time that I climbed the stairs

Sun pouring on flour like fireflies

Dust-settling room

Dust set upon my eyes

I never knew the pain in your hands

I took for granted the days that I saw you

What does it mean to be standing here

To breathe in your ghosts again

I can't release this

Come away with me

I know, I know

All the hours that I have spent alone

Come away with me

I know, I know

I am bound by my past

I should have known

I'll make things right

Misted face in the mirror

I'll become your host

Growing shade of a past I can no longer know

What does it mean to lose my own name

To thoughts that have left me alone

I can't release this

I'll stay awake until I am dead

A shadowsong of memories bled

A cracking floor

My old creaking bones

I've lost my life to things I don't own

This is all I knew

I ran

Dead men don't come home

I'll rest

This is all I knew

I ran

Dead men don't come home

I'll rest
