Ghosts In Empty Houses

[Verse 1]

In this country at any given time

There are two million empty houses

And one of them once was mine

Yeah there were twelve million spirits drifting

Through twelve million empty rooms

Waving their ghostly arms at the stars

And howling sad songs in the light of a crescent moon

[Pre-Chorus]

Yeah they claw at the air and they scream

But they don't make a sound

They should've exorcised their demons and their secrets

While they were around

[Chorus]

Don't you think it's funny how quickly things can turn around

All our lives we're drifting like ghosts inside an empty house

Everything is falling to pieces and it's just as well

Because every little piece of heaven brings a little piece of hell

[Verse 2]

In my darkest hour when death is knocking at my door

I can feel the tug of a thousand fingers but what are the ghosts here for?

They say: Beware, be wary of secrets that you may keep

Cause if they're any indication of the sorrow it brings you

Then don't take your demons to sleep

[Pre-Chorus]

Then if you take a little time

To stop and think about yourself

You just might find that the

Direction that you're headed is closer to hell

[Chorus]

Don't you think it's funny how quickly things can turn around

All our lives we're drifting like ghosts inside an empty house

Everything is falling to pieces and it's just as well

Because every little piece of heaven brings a little piece of hell

[Outro]

So you might find yourself drifting

Like a ghost inside of empty house after empty house

Looking for someone but lately finding not a soul to tell
