Ghosts

Growing up is paralysis Feeling stuck and slowly sinking in Building comfort brick by brick Then suffocating as the walls cave in It's getting colder Are my ghosts just watching over I'm scared of corners Been facing those since I got older I'm feeling smaller Like any moment I might falter Shoes full of water I can't walk any farther Frozen in unconsciousness Can't move til I meet my end Gasp awake counting every breath Think I'll die before I get to ten It's getting colder Are my ghosts just watching over I'm scared of corners Been facing those since I got older I'm feeling smaller Like any moment I might falter Shoes full of water I can't walk any farther This feels impossible Can't save me from myself This should be simple It's not complex I'm just impossible It's getting colder Are my ghosts just watching over I'm scared of corners Been facing those since I got older I miss the future When I wished it'd get here sooner What happened to her What happened to her
