Time to gather up the splinters, build a casket for my tears

Come here
Pretty please
Can you tell me where I am?
You - won't you say something?
I need to get my bearings
I'm lost
And the shadows keep on changing

And I'm haunted
By the lives that I have loved

And actions I have hated
I'm haunted
By the lies that wove the web
Inside my haunted head

Don't cry
There's always a way
Here in November in this house of leaves
We'll pray
Please, I know it's hard to believe
To see a perfect forest
Through so many splintered trees
You and me
And these shadows keep on changing

And I'm haunted
By the lives that I have loved
And actions I have hated
I'm haunted
By the promises I've made
And others I have broken
I'm haunted

By the promises I made
And others I have broken
I'm haunted
By the lies that wove the web
Inside my haunted head

Hallways... always
I'll always want you

I'll always need you
I'll always love you
And I will always miss you

Come here
No I won't say please
One more look at the ghost
Before I'm gonna make it leave
Come here
I've got the pieces here
Time to gather up the splinters
Build a casket for my tears

I'm haunted
(By the lives that I have loved)
I'm haunted
By the hallways in this tiny room
The echo there of me and you
The voices that are carrying this tune


Poe
