Ghosts

What story shall I tell?  What names shall I say? The one who stretched my reach or the one who got away? Maybe this time I’ll remember she changed her mind Now I’ve stitched their shadows to the soles of my feet The lost boy who couldn’t live alone Now I’m tearing at the seams I’ve grown up, won’t they let me grow old? When memories fade, why do their spectres remain? They’re haunting me These ghosts that I’ve seen I try and sleep but they’re keeping me awake They won’t let me be For I’ve chased them through so many dreams They’re haunting me These ghosts that I’ve seen I try and sleep but they’re keeping me awake They’re haunting me These ghosts that I’ve seen I try and sleep but they’re keeping me awake
