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
And 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
That maybe someone would care

I never fully appeared
Cause all the kids thought I was weird x2

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 death was all I had feared
No I never fully appeared
Cause all the kids thought I was weird
