I See Dead People

 I See Dead People

Walking through time in a grave of darkness

with my light shining dim on the walls of shadows

tripping on lost bones of death with spirits pulling at me

I feel my death is near, but I run and hide behind a black rose.

I see dead people all around

I see dead people that make no sound

I see dead people I can’t be found

I see dead people but I’m not going down

Running in darkness fog rolls o’er my feet

I see the bones through the walls reaching for my flesh

I can’t let them touch my soul, my heart, my life, or just me

I feel the cold breath of lifelessness on my shoulder through the darkness

I see dead people all around

I see dead people that make no sound

I see dead people I can’t be found

I see dead people but I’m not going down

I can’t be found

I’m not going down

dead people all around

hide, make no sound

I can’t be found

I won’t be found

dead eyes at me

let me be

Oh running in darkness, running for a light to find

No. I won’t let them take it…this body my flesh…I can’t see

wishing my light would…my light would…my light would shine

Oh I won’t let them take it…this body is mine…this body is me

I see dead people all around

I see dead people that make no sound

I see dead people, I can’t be found

I see dead people but I’m not going down

oh no…I’m not going…down…
