A door was shut The keys were lost, you screamed And so began the saga titled: Sympathy The lights are off You're scared, why hide the switch then? 'Cause that's the trick The door was locked by one of us Guess who? You're cryin' "I'm all alone" "Here's not a living soul who cares now" But I am just down the hall Of this haunted house, and you love that I can't give up on you, despite the harm you do A friend is not this worthless Must be a ghost Hung in your puppet show Sewn at the mouth Role of invisible Illusions get attention House is growing We're all trophies in her innocent collection You sell, we buy The walls reek with your persuasion You're in distress For best actress, the Oscar goes to you Still cryin' "I'm all alone" "I need a living soul to care now" When we are just down the hall Of this haunted house, had always thought Maybe her demons are fake Monsters of makeup and paint That decorate a sweet nightmare Must be a ghost (What do you need of me when you're never seein' me?) Hung in your puppet show (Tangled up in your ties, immobilized) Sewn at the mouth (What do you need of me, why you never seein' me?) Role of invisible (You've written every line, and got 'em memorized) You're always craving fresh blood House keeps growing Quite a shame though, isn't it? She has more skulls and dolls Than humans to have conversations with Don't pity us Oh no, we pity her You know we really cared Remember why we walked in here Why'd she have to lock us here? Now we're just ghosts Dead in her puppet show Well, say goodbye to control You've lit all of the matches Home of poison, and I'm gonna burn it to ashes (Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait...) The door was never locked Of course Guess I'll just go, then I'll miss you
