Ghosts

Growing up is paralysis
Feeling stuck and slowly sinking in
Building comfort brick by brick
Then suffocating as the walls cave in

It's getting colder
Are my ghosts just watching over
I'm scared of corners
Been facing those since I got older
I'm feeling smaller
Like any moment I might falter
Shoes full of water
I can't walk any farther

Frozen in unconsciousness
Can't move til I meet my end
Gasp awake counting every breath
Think I'll die before I get to ten

It's getting colder
Are my ghosts just watching over
I'm scared of corners
Been facing those since I got older
I'm feeling smaller
Like any moment I might falter
Shoes full of water
I can't walk any farther

This feels impossible
Can't save me from myself
This should be simple
It's not complex
I'm just impossible

It's getting colder
Are my ghosts just watching over
I'm scared of corners
Been facing those since I got older
I miss the future
When I wished it'd get here sooner
What happened to her
What happened to her
