Haunted

Standing in these ruins that we left
I thought our love could last beyond death
How can I mourn while you still draw breath?
I’ll drink from the waters of the Lethe

Your fingers tangled in my hair
Reach out to touch you but find only air
Like missing a step as I climb the stairs
How could you scorn a gift so rare

This house I haunt was never home
Expect me to draw blood from stone
I’ve had enough, you’re on your own
Now burn me down to ash and bone

Obsession’s just a phase of grief
You kept me drowning in your sea
A shipwreck shattered on a reef
If I could, I’d drag you down with me

Accepting love without emotion
Feeling my heart break in slow motion
Bury my grief in the depths of the ocean
Epitaph in memory of false devotion

This house I haunt was never home
Expect me to draw blood from stone
I’ve had enough, you’re on your own
Now burn me down to ash and bone

You loved me
You loved me
You left me

From ashes to ashes
I'm fading
It can’t be, so help me
So help me

This house I haunt was never home
Expect me to draw blood from stone
I’ve had enough, you’re on your own
Now burn me down to ash and bone

The earth is scorched
You’ve done your worst
We can’t go back
This place is cursed
