Scratching walls in the dead of quiet
These shadows crawl and they start a riot
Empty halls they scream your name
But I bite my tongue play a different game
Grit the teeth against the ghostly call
Turn away before the footsteps fall
Refrain from reaching where it’s burned
Leave that corner stay unturned
Torn old letters they fill the floor
Silence louder than the slamming door
This cage it's shaking but it will hold
I won’t dig where the truth’s been sold
Grit the teeth against the ghostly call
Turn away before the footsteps fall
Refrain from reaching where it’s burned
Leave that corner stay unturned
The cracks are thin I can see the light
A memory grins but it won’t fight
Chained to moments but I’ll break through
Throw it out tear out the residue
Grit the teeth against the ghostly call
Turn away before the footsteps fall
Refrain from reaching where it’s burned
Leave that corner stay unturned
