The Ghosts

Intro

Shadows gather on the staircase, voices murmuring low

I feel the weight of every echo from the rooms below

A flicker on the wallpaper, icy hands pressed to glass

Childhood stories cracking as the spirits pass

Verse 1

There’s thunder in the hallway where the light won’t stay

Sister’s laughter tangled up with pain

Father’s eyes like November rain

Mother’s rage leaves another stain

Chorus

I see the ghost of my sister outside my window

Singing lullabies I barely recall

Father’s shadow in the corner, silent and hollow

Mother’s footsteps pounding down the hall

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, can you see them now?

Oh-oh, can you set me free?

Verse 2

Clarinets wail beneath the ceiling

Guitar cuts the air as the truth comes calling

Bass and drums thundering secrets I’m feeling

Keys flicker cold, as memories go falling

Pre-Chorus

A door creaks open to a nightmare past

Mother’s hand grips like winter’s blast

But my sister sings from somewhere bright

While father turns away from the light

Chorus

I see the ghost of my sister outside my window

Singing lullabies I barely recall

Father’s shadow in the corner, silent and hollow

Mother’s footsteps pounding down the hall

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh,

Bridge

Moonlight bleeds through every fracture in the walls

Clarinets scream as the memories crawl

I’m running from voices that circle my brain

Footsteps pounding louder—am I going insane?

Guitar Solo

Verse 3

Mother’s shadow rising, mouth open wide

Father’s regret filling up the night

Sister’s song twisting in the chandelier light

I plead for dawn but I’m stuck inside

Chorus

I see the ghost of my sister outside my window

Singing lullabies I barely recall

Father’s shadow in the corner, silent and hollow

Mother’s footsteps pounding down the hall

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, can you see them now?

Oh-oh, can you set me free?

Oh-oh, will you carry me?

Oh-oh, through the memory
