about

Sample is from Who’s Afraid Of Virginia Woolf? (1966)

lyrics

I think my house is haunted
Every time you leave a shadow appears
In the corner of my eye
And it watches me from my bedside
I wanna hold you like a ghost
Holds a planchette
Spelling words out for you to interpret
Tattooed letters circled on your skin
Secret messages not meant for the living

Do you hear them too
Are you scared to face the truth
*that we’re stuck in endless loops
Making grooves for future hauntings after we’re gone

I think our love is haunted
When you come on over
Things just fall off the shelves
The spectres love a mess
I think we should be kinder to ourselves
I wish you’d hold me like the broom you hold in your hands
Sweeping up all evidence of the damage
Cracked and broken pieces of porcelain
Fit back together like nothing ever happened

I can feel the air change
When you are near me
I am not scared
Of spirits laughing at our folly
And taunting us
From realms beyond ours

Can you feel it too
Are you scared to face the truth
*that we’re stuck in endless loops
Making grooves for future hauntings after we’re gone
