Spectres

Lights flicker in the hall
I’m hearing voices call
Words echo in my head
Like I’m already dead
So whisper in my ear
And tell me not to fear
The memories are gone
And I’m starting to move on
There’s a scent in the air
I can’t ignore
I keep hearing footsteps
On the floor
I know it’s not you but
I still feel
The touch of your hands
Even if they’re not real
I’m talking to walls
To nothing at all
But I can still feel you with me
The spectre you are
Leaving all these scars
Haunting me with past memories
I’m withering away
With thoughts of better days
Those times when you and I
Never had to say goodbye
But change was bound to come
There was nowhere we could run
It was over and we knew
But I still feel the ghost of you
There’s a scent in the air
I can’t ignore
I keep hearing footsteps
On the floor
I know it’s not you but
I still feel
The touch of your hands
Even if they’re not real
I’m talking to walls
To nothing at all
But I can still feel you with me
The spectre you are
Leaving all these scars
Haunting me with past memories
I don’t feel alone
In your twilight zone
But it’s time you left my haunted heart
I wish you the best
But I put you to rest
And now a whole new life can start
I feel your spectres haunting me
Keeping me down with misery
Now take your ghosts and move along
I’ll miss your soul, but I’m moving on
There’s a scent in the air
I can’t ignore
I keep hearing footsteps
On the floor
I know it’s not you but
I still feel
The touch of your hands
Even if they’re not real
I’m talking to walls
To nothing at all
But I can still feel you with me
The spectre you are
Leaving all these scars
Haunting me with past memories
