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 and i never fully appeared cause all the kids thought i was weird so i polished off the clocks and set them all to chime waited at the docks while they sang at the same time and i made all of the beds and dusted all the chairs i got it in my head maybe someone would care but i never fully appeared cause all the kids thought i was weird no i never fully appeared cause all the kids thought i was weird so i held my breath in corners trying to be brave watching while they mourned her 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 cause all the kids thought i was weird
