Haunted Lyrics

I've been hearing footsteps on the stairs
Flip on the light and no one's there
This is how we learn to navigate
All ghosts and lingering wraiths

The things you try to hide will not be hid
They said it didn't happen, but it did
All the things that scared you as a kid
In basement, underneath the bed

Haunted

If you look long into the dark
Something will illuminate or spark
If you wade where the silence is deep
If you listen long enough it speaks

Not every haunting is redeemed
But not every ghost is what it seems When we name the dragons, dragons fall
Armored flanks, flaming wings and all

Haunted

It's calling through the keyholes
Underneath the doors
Slipping through the windows and floorboards

Shameful stories, unmet needs
Old ideas and even older deeds
It's safe to finally release
The shadows of all these

It's dangerous to live in a normal world
When you're not an ordinary girl
For years in dusty attics you could find
Where the mad and voiceless were confined

Haunted
