Ghosts In the Halls (Single)

I have a dream and it plays in my head

Over and over again

A thief in the night gathers all that I own

And goes

But I took no chance, now he takes no breath

Protected the ones that I love

Holding on tight to my son in my arms

As I'd give everything to do

A sight through the trees now it plays in my head

Over and over again

A mother is tossing a rose in his grave

Alone

Every night she prayed he'd come home

To somewhere to know that he's loved

She would hold tight to her son in her arms

As she'd give everything to do

Can you please just let me grieve

For the promises we keep

There's a price to be paid

And there's ghosts in these halls

Now I show my face and they throw a parade

Over and over again

Writing their stories and taking the pain

For their own

My shoulder is longing for some gentle hand

Instead it pats me on the back

Where is the joy in a son in the ground?

I'll never know

Can you please just let me grieve

For the promises we keep

There's a price to be paid

And there's ghosts in these halls

Can you please just let me grieve

For the promises we keep

You're not paying the price

For the ghosts in the halls

Not a worry for

All that he was living for

As they're darkening his face

No redemption for

The one she was waiting for

He's just a ghost
