2.A Ghost In The Doorway

a ghost in the doorway

for a ghost in the doorway
a mask upon your face
and for the devil that's on your shoulder
you can't erase
everything

keep freezing it won't be long
we'll wait patiently and play along

the shadow laughing in the corner that you still
keep with you while you run
and the song by the lake for a grey mistake
as you're coming undone

but you're wrong
and you're burying yourself alive
in a grave that you made to lay in and survive

you're the fool who almost saved the world
you're the fool who almost gave the world away

to a place so dead a place so black
a place so cold a place that wants you right here

judecca in broad daylight
inside and out
keep listening
your mind
your safety
your center
lies open
pinned to the table
for dissection
and nothing can stop them
there's nothing that you can do

it stares in and smiles
when it knows you're alone
