Haunting

We are but captives
We are diseased
We know that one day
We will be free

I’ve seen it again and again
We just have to close the door
And you know we can’t ever let them in
You got what you wanted
You got what you wanted so just go
And now you can’t make a single noise
So what do you have to lose
You got what you wanted
Subject to the judgement of a fool
You got what you wanted so just go

Am I meant to follow?
What is it to lead?
Is it the tone of a steady voice
Or the sound of a piercing scream

The dirt under my fingernails
Tells of the grave I’m digging
I know that there is something
Out there that I have to see
That’s haunting me

We’ll kill the parasite
That lingers in our skin
The loss of appetite
But you got what you wanted

They’ll never know, they’ll never know
I’m not exactly what they wanted
The man they thought I was
Began to die inside

We just have to close the door
And we can’t let them in
You got what you wanted
Now you’ll find somewhere to begin

We are but captives
We are diseased
We know that one day
We will be free

The dirt under my fingernails
Tells of the grave I’m digging
I know there is something
Out there that I have to see
That’s haunting me
