We are taught to tread cautious Life can be ferocious Strike in sudden ways Hide under the covers With adventurous lovers And together Wait for better days You drag around your dead rose Tears like rolling shadows On your white face You still wail in despair Like there's nobody there With you When cold Creeps into the air I chase snowflakes Out of your hair I'm here Why won't you talk to me, I can't stand to fight The vengeful ghosts that are haunting your mind Your secret army of unspeakable things The words unspoken that are louder than screams I lay awake and I listen You've built yourself a prison With walls so thick Still I can hear how you're always Pacing in the hallways Over and over Counting every brick Oh I could leave you all alone I'm as good as dead and gone To you anyway When there's no one left to face You'll still be hiding just in case In that damn place Cold Creeps into the air I chase snowflakes Out of your hair I'm here Why won't you talk to me, I can't stand to fight The vengeful ghosts that are haunting your mind Your secret army of unspeakable things The words unspoken that are louder than screams
