Haunted Home

Through crystalline frost on window panes December whispers ancient strains Plastic card and printed lies That's how I bid my last goodbyes While others dreamed in beds of bliss I packed my life in soundlessness Then slipped away through shadows deep Left everything for time to keep The frozen grass beneath my feet Where childhood memories retreat Each breath I take burns fucking cold As stories left here grow old The house stands still, a hollow shell Of secrets it will never tell Though years have scraped my soul to bone This haunted place still pulls me home Dead pixels dance on shattered screens Like scattered fragments of my dreams The garden's thorns pierce autumn air Where grandma's roses used to flare Dad's tools rust silent on the shelf Each spider web, a cry for help The darkness crawls through empty space Where warmth once held its saving grace The frozen grass beneath my feet Where childhood memories retreat Each breath I take burns fucking cold As stories left here grow old The house stands still, a hollow shell Of secrets it will never tell Though years have scraped my soul to bone This haunted place still pulls me home We're burning matches in the rain Each flame dies faster than before Yet still we light them up again Cause that's what beating hearts are for The frozen grass beneath my feet Where childhood memories retreat Each breath I take burns fucking cold As stories left here grow old The house stands still, a hollow shell Of secrets it will never tell Though years have scraped my soul to bone This haunted place still pulls me home
