Haunted Mansion

Always smiling, so energetic, so lively

Seems like sun shines through your eyes, so lovely

Radiating with happiness, they asked you why

Looking down to the ground, you started by

'Been thinking lately of trees'

They believe, yeah, maybe that is

But you continued and say

'During a dark forest day'

Tilting their heads to the side

Giving you questioning eyes

'What is it again love?'

Demanding for answers to have

Been thinking of a haunted mansion for ages now

Never knew, it just started somehow

Inside, there's me, sitting alone

On a spot I don't dare leaving and all

Every time I try to move

The light seems to dim

So I stay, ask and pray

Why I have to live this way'

They shot a brow and scrunched their face

'Are you making that up cos it's bad, I say'

Shaking your head, you tried to smile

'Beams and grins, we're living in lies...'
