Cellar of Ghosts

Kardashev


In the cellar
Underneath the stairs
Sips of wine stole
When I was young
Candlelight ghost stories

Every time that I climbed the stairs
Sun pouring on flour like fireflies
Dust-settling room!
Dust set upon my eyes!

I never knew the pain in your hands
I took for granted the days that I saw you
What does it mean to be standing here
To breathe in your ghosts again
I can't release this

Come away with me
I know
I know
All the hours that
I have spent alonе

Come away with me
I know
I know
I am bound by my past
I should have known!

I'll makе things right
Misted face in the mirror, I'll become your host
Growing shade of a past I can no longer know
What does it mean to lose my own name
To thoughts that have left me alone?
I can't release this!

I'll stay awake until I am dead!
A shadowsong of memories bled
A cracking floor
My old creaking bones
I've lost my life to things I don't own

This is all I knew
I ran
Dead men don't come home
I'll rest
