The terrors of your nights have gone away
But something still remains
And though you try to hide
The scars upon your face
It seems they're here to stay
Still it haunts you
Still it finds you
Still it haunts you
It's inside you
Eating away at the walls that guard your heart
Still it haunts you
Eating away at the husk of your soul
Surely you knew that you cannot control what haunts you
It burns you deep inside
Constantly
But easy to deny
And so you close your eyes
Turn away
But this won't heal with time
Still it haunts you
Still it finds you
Still it haunts you
It's inside you
Eating away at the walls that guard your heart
Still it haunts you
Eating away at the husk of your soul
Surely you knew that you cannot control what haunts you
Close the curtain
Lock the door
They don't want you anymore
Locked inside
Left to die
Drinking down the tears you cry
Holding on
To what you know
Emptiness begins to show
Still it haunts you
Still it finds you
Still it haunts you
It's inside you
Eating away at the husk of your soul
All your pretending has taken its toll
Though you had thought you had left it behind you
Still you must learn that you cannot control
What haunts you
