HAUNTED MANSION
You can hear the footsteps
but no one walks
on the stair that goes up
You see the shadow
but no source
causing you to stop
to live like this, to be like this
Don’t change, but don’t stay here
You don’t have to be the only ghost,
the cause of all your fears
Cause you are living in a haunted mansion
They’re trying to steal your soul
You try to run, you try to hide
But they have got control
The door goes open
but you can’t see
the one who pushed it through
The curtains by the window show
a sight; it’s called the truth
to live like this, to be like this
Don’t change, but don’t stay here
You don’t have to be the only ghost;
the cause of all your fears
Cause you are living in a haunted mansion
They’re trying to steal your soul
You try to run, you try to hide
But they have got control
Your reflection in the mirror
shows you things that makes you shiver
It shows the things that you have done
the things that you want to come
They appear right next to you
Attacking and just pushing you
They force you doing things you don’t want
Just let it slip, cause you can’t
You cannot stop, you cannot fight
Tell them they haven’t got the right
You make it worse; you feel the pain
The times you scream, they’ll do it again
It hurts so much, it makes you feel
Like it won’t go; it cannot heal
You beg them; crying on your knees
You close your eyes but you still see
the things you did against your will
The pain is so strong; the pain kills
But when you open up your eyes
They’re in the mirror like undiscovered lies
You realise what you did to me
Unforgivable as it may seem
You cannot live with the pain inside
you need to run, you need to hide,
But you are living in a haunted mansion
They succeeded and got your soul
You need to run, you need to hide
But they have got control
You are living in this haunted mansion, mansion, mansion…
You are living inside your lie
You are living in this haunted mansion….
You are living … inside of me.
