Haunted House
Ghosts of Love: Haunted House by Treaty Oak Revival Unveiled
Lyrics
I pace these halls
I walk through these halls
And you can see right through me
My emotions and thoughts are transparent
I'm not there at all
I am emotionally absent
An even where I should be
Not present where I should be
And all these pictures on the walls of us
Pictures on the walls depict our past
Of what we used to be
Reflections of what we used to be
Could've fooled me
Sarcasm or disbelief about the depicted past
Could've fooled me
Reiteration of skepticism or surprise
And I'm trying to find to words to say
Struggling to find words to make you leave
To make you go away
Desire for the person to go away
But you stay, yeah you stay
Despite attempts, the person stays
And I'm trying
Continued effort to cope or escape
To get out but I wind up in the same place
Repeatedly ending up in the same emotional state
But you stay, yeah you stay
The person persists in staying
And I tried to be the man you wanted
Striving to meet expectations
Tell me that this house ain't haunted
Request for assurance that the house is not haunted by past issues
She's like a curse
Describing the person as a negative influence
The way she follows me around
The person's constant presence
And I haven't told her yet what we have's six feet underground
Keeping a significant secret about the relationship
And the silence is deafening, I just can't find what's left of me and you
Intense silence and inability to find a connection
Well it's true, yeah it's true
Acknowledgment of the truth
And I'm trying to find to words to say
Struggling to express the need for departure
To make you go away
Desire for the person to leave
But you stay, yeah you stay
The person remains despite attempts to escape
And I'm trying
Continued effort to break free
To get out but I wind up in the same place
Consistently ending up in the same emotional state
But you stay, yeah you stay
The person persists in staying
And I tried to be the man you wanted
Striving to meet expectations
Tell me that this house ain't haunted
Request for assurance that the house is not haunted
I hear screams and slamming doors
Hearing unsettling sounds in the house
Taps on glass and creaking floors
Perceiving strange occurrences
Paranoia's setting in
Feeling increasing anxiety and suspicion
Was it you or just the wind
Uncertainty about the cause of unsettling events
And I'm trying to find to words to say
Struggling to find words to make the person leave
To make you go away
Desire for the person to go away
But you stay, yeah you stay
The person remains despite attempts to escape
And I'm trying
Continued effort to break free
To get out but I wind up in the same place
Consistently ending up in the same emotional state
But you stay, yeah you stay
The person persists in staying
And I tried to be the man you wanted
Striving to meet expectations
Tell me that this house ain't haunted
Request for assurance that the house is not haunted
Won't you tell me that this house ain't haunted
Plea for confirmation that the house is not haunted
Well tell me that this, tell me that this
Repetition of the plea for reassurance
Tell me that this house ain't haunted
Reiteration of the request for confirmation
Won't you tell me that this house ain't haunted
Final plea for confirmation that the house is not haunted
