I was a ghost

sleeping in the walls

hiding behind bedposts

lost in vapid halls

cold and pale

trying to keep sane

learning to prevail

against my own brain

I never fully appeared

[01:48.36][02:03.81][03:20.11]cause all the kids thought I was weird

so i polished off the clocks

and set them all to chime

and waited at the docks

while they sang at the same time

so I made all of the beds

and dusted all the chairs

I got it in my head

that maybe someone would care

[01:55.59]But I never fully appeared

held my breath in corners

trying to be brave

watching while they mourned her

a girl that could be saved

kissing all her pictures

wishing she'd survived

reading lines from scripture

like they did when she was alive

and i never shed a tear

cause death was all I had feared

no I never fully appeared
