Ghost In This House
Lauren Duski Lyrics

I don't pick up the mail
I do not bother looking at the letters delivered to me

I don't pick up the phone
I prefer to ignore the ringing of the telephone

I don't answer the door
I avoid greeting people who knock at my entrance

I'd just as soon be alone
I prefer the company of silence than human interaction

I don't keep this place up
I neglect the maintenance of this living space

I just keep the lights down
I reduce the brightness of the lights to set the mood

I don't live in these rooms
I don't feel like I inhabit these spaces

I just rattle around
I wander aimlessly around the home

I'm just a ghost in this house
I feel invisible, like a specter haunting this building

I'm just a shadow upon these walls
My presence is barely noticeable, casting a faint silhouette

As quietly as a mouse I haunt these halls
I move about stealthily like a mouse in these passageways

I'm just a whisper of smoke
I am the residual trace of a passion that has dissipated

I'm all that's left of two hearts on fire
I am the sole reminder of two individuals who were once in love

That once burned out of control
Their love once consumed them with intense desire

You took my body and soul
You had complete power over me, heart, and body

I'm just a ghost in this house
I am but a memory, an apparition trapped within these walls

I don't mind if it rains
I am indifferent to the weather condition of the outside world

And I don't care if it's clear
Clear skies or cloudy skies have no effect on me

I don't mind stayin' in
I am content with being confined indoors

There's another ghost here
Someone else's spectral presence lingers on in this house

She sits down in your chair
She takes the place you once occupied as if she were you

And he shines with your light
He embodies your aura and energy, casting your radiant glow

And he lays down his head
He rests his head on the pillow where once yours had been

On your pillow at night
He sleeps with his head propped on the pillow that belonged to you

A living proof of the damage, heartbreak does
I am an example of how heartbreak can render someone emotionally dead
