haunted Lyrics

Placing a knife in my gut

Looming over the foot of my bed

My room must be haunted

Bearing your teeth

Tongue down my throat

Heart in my stomach

His room was so orange and blue

Someone's messing with my thoughts

My dreams are haunted

Déjà vu, stuck in limbo

Stuck in my head

I can't help that I've been here before

It's just the way that my mind turns

Sit on the steps, your eyes shining in the lamplight

Our school was so haunted with the dreams of our futures

And our lost opportunities, glad we made it out of it

We were lucky

If not a little scarred, we laugh it off

"It built character."

The early years of my life

Stare at me quietly, longingly, from the shelf

Haven't been able to reach them in a while

Hardly remember them

But I remember him

Like he was yesterday

The touch of his hands on my chest

Still haunting my heart and my veins

Wish I could take it all back

But maybe, in the end

I needed some humbling

And I lay awake at night on my side

Thinking over and over and over again

He's just a boy, a formative experience

But then I'm discounting myself

Christmas will always be bittersweet

Now that the memory of him is weaved through it

Right through it

Saunter through my day

Thoughts pass me by like

Flickers of knowledge

Glimpses of sadness

I try not to get caught up in them

I know I don't talk to her enough

I'm haunted by regret

Don't die yet

I wanna go knowing I've healed the spite I've dealt her

Over

And over

And over

And over

And over

And over

And over again
