While I drifted to sleep in the night
I used to believe in ghosts
Who haunted me within the dark
And took what mattered most
I shivered when they trailed my spine
With fingers like icy veins
I wept in silence as they watched
And rattled their noisy chains
I felt the air grow colder
Every time they entered the room
And then the screeching started
It always filled me with doom
But no one heard or no one cared
When I told them of my plight
I begged and pleading with everyone
But it always ended in a fight
Now I live where the bodies go
When no one seems to care
I lay in bed catatonic
My mind is open and bare
Whispers growing in the dark
What do you perceive?
I talk about my problems
Praying you will learn to believe
