This house is quiet in the dead of night
The corridor is lit with candle light
Walk down and watch these portraits stare.
Scarlet sounds slither in my ear
And resonate, tragically sincere
Hollow and haunting.
A child is sitting at the piano bench
Ghosts swirl around him with his hands outstretched
But his eyes are fixed on the keys
And his songs don't ever cease
I despise his honesty
I even thought of naming him
His vortex of ghosts just pulls me in
It pulls me in
I'm going to burn this house down, I don't care
I want to feel these fucking glares
The shrieks will sound in euphony
And create my symphony.
