I’m having trouble trying to fall asleep at night
I swim through quicksand in my dreams
I’m drowning now, but I can’t wake if I won’t fight
I pray to God 'cause I can’t scream
-
At once a child, but now I swear I can’t remember
That time when earth seemed calm and free
Count the days, drag by the wait for late December
It scares me now, I’d rather sleep
-
And tell me why my house is haunted through the night
Tell me why I still can’t sleep
And tell me why she walks the halls while there’s no light
I close my eyes and hear her scream
-
I’ve watched my clock spin at the rate of dripping honey
With time its gears picked up in speed
I want more time, I want more sleep, I want more money
Nothing can buy these things I seek
-
I pull the covers close, the nights are getting colder
My house plays music through its stairs
Its harmony mocks my heart’s beat from when I’d hold her
She sings to me that she’s still there
-
And tell me why my house is haunted through the night
Tell me why I still can’t sleep
And tell me why she walks the halls while there’s no light
I close my eyes and hear her scream
