Haunted House - Michelle Creber

A door was shut

The keys were lost, you screamed

And so began the saga titled: Sympathy

The lights are off

You’re scared, why hide the switch then?

'Cause that’s the trick

The door was locked by one of us

Guess who?

You’re cryin' «I'm all alone»

«Here's not a living soul who cares now»

But I am just down the hall

Of this haunted house, and you love that

I can’t give up on you, despite the harm you do

A friend is not this worthless

Must be a ghost

Hung in your puppet show

Sewn at the mouth

Role of invisible

Illusions get attention

House is growing

We’re all trophies in her innocent collection

You sell, we buy

The walls reek with your persuasion

You’re in distress

For best actress, the Oscar goes to you

Still cryin' «I'm all alone»

«I need a living soul to care now»

When we are just down the hall

Of this haunted house, had always thought

Maybe her demons are fake

Monsters of makeup and paint

That decorate a sweet nightmare

Must be a ghost

(What do you need of me when you’re never seein' me?)

Hung in your puppet show

(Tangled up in your ties, immobilized)

Sewn at the mouth

(What do you need of me, why you never seein' me?)

Role of invisible

(You've written every line, and got 'em memorized)

You’re always craving fresh blood

House keeps growing

Quite a shame though, isn’t it?

She has more skulls and dolls

Than humans to have conversations with

Don’t pity us

Oh no, we pity her

You know we really cared

Remember why we walked in here

Why’d she have to lock us here?

Now we’re just ghosts

Dead in her puppet show

Well, say goodbye to control

You’ve lit all of the matches

Home of poison, and I’m gonna burn it to ashes

(Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait…)

The door was never locked

Of course

Guess I’ll just go, then

I’ll miss you
