ghosts.
footsteps echo through the empty halls
at least they would if the house wasn't so small
we walk around like friendly ghosts
at least until we come to blows
fake smiles and phony photographs
do absolutely nothing for me
so quit it with your fake laughs
i'm done with being your zombie
don't get so close, i think you know
that you don't want to be a parent now
you never tried, you only lied
it's kinda late to learn that now
keep telling me you've changed
you're done with playing games
like i've never heard that one before
i just don't need what you have in store
don't get so near, i think it's clear
that you're headed to a danger zone
don't hug me close, see how i froze
i'm just so used to being alone
i can't train myself to care
after the struggle of trying not to
when my whole life you weren't there
you can't teach yourself not to be you
so we walk around this house like ghosts
at least until we come to blows
footsteps echo in hypothetical halls
but no one's really there at all
