The Colour of Sadness

haunting

I was as pure as a river
But now I think I'm possessed
_______________

Here I stand, on the front porch
Of the house we bought
Light years ago

The floorboards creak as I walk across
The paint peels as I brush my fingers
Against the walls

Falling, falling into disrepair

Just like how we fell
Further, further into love
Letting love destroy us

There was a fire inside these walls once
But it's been cold
Since you left

Your heart still lies beneath these floorboards
Made of embers
But your hands like ice

The floor feels like it's caving in
Rotting, breaking, splintering
And I'm hoping you could save me now
But your eyes have gone dark

I've done some things that I can't speak
I tried to wash you away
But you just won't leave
So I'm gonna take a breath
And dive in deep

I'm praying that you'll come for me

I'm begging you to keep on
Haunting me
I'm begging you to keep on
Wandering in my memories
I'm begging you to stay alive
In my dreams

I'm begging you to take me
To your paradise lost

We walked like we were gods
And we lived like angels
But we died out,
Like mortals

In this house of ghosts
Only one haunts me

I've waited in this house
For what feels like centuries
Watching the mold eat away
At the solid wood walls

And now there's a fever inside me
And I'm seeing you
Standing in front of me

Is this a vision, or did you really come for me?

I'm begging you to keep on,
Haunting me
I'm begging you to keep on, 
Loving me
I'm begging you to keep on,
Just keep on,
Calling out my name

From this place we once called home

Haunted by the footseps,
Of ghosts never born

And I'll keep on waiting,

For your love to destroy me
Like how mine destroyed you.

And I came here, just so you'd come for me.

I'm begging you to keep on,
Haunting me.
