Dismember the picture frames dressed in attic age
Reassemble the skeletons that cry in the house
Rearrange the ghosts -
Bending backwards to burning sage
This place is haunted
And the spiders are covered in dust
The people under the stairs are falling asleep
To the sound of the devil dragging the rust
And the tired eyes are bleeding
Because they can't see in the dark
Whispering witches are screaming
In the woods
Under lightless stars
These hallows eve nightmares
Are running in the walls
Make the pumpkin patch smile
So the horseman
Can find them all
Do you feel beautiful?
When you bleed the color from my skin?
To paint your nails with broken glass
To burn your throat with rotten gin?
Your lips were peeling apart
From kissing the dead
Because the universe told you that you were nothing
To leave stains of lipstick and lead
She didn't need to lock herself
Where vanities were built in hospital rooms
She just couldn't handle the taste of vanilla
With a cut out tongue
Writing her name on discolored walls
Miss lonely Gehenna -
Listen to the whispers
That swim in the ceiling
Catch them in mason jars
Before your dreams start bleeding
But when the mirrors start to talk -
It's the phantoms you're seeing
Painting of hand prints
Decorating the walls
The moonlight snuck in
To watch it all
When you were telling ghost stories
To the ghosts in your room
And the demons got louder
As the angels fell mute
The wind in your house
Was screaming louder than you
So you took the broken glass
And made yourself
A new face
Just in time for Hallows Eve
Just in time
For the evil and me
