I've been hearing footsteps on the stairs Flip on the light and no one's there This is how we learn to navigate All ghosts and lingering wraiths The things you try to hide will not be hid They said it didn't happen but it did All the things that scared you as a kid In basement underneath the bed Haunted Haunted If you look long into the dark Something will illuminate or spark When you wade where the silence is deep If you listen long enough it speaks Not every haunting is redeemed But not every ghost is what it seems When we name the dragons dragons fall Armored flanks flaming wings and all Haunted Haunted It's calling through the keyholes Underneath the doors Slipping through the windows and floorboards Shameful stories unmet needs Old ideas and even older deeds It's safe to finally release The shadows of all these It's dangerous to live in a normal world When you're not an ordinary girl For years in dusty attics you could find Where the mad and voiceless were confined Haunted Haunted Haunted
