Haunted Man Songtext
von Spiritbox

I left you by the doorway
I left you by the trash
I left you in the savannah
On the seabed of my past

I left you in a scavenger′s daughter
Tied you to a Spanish chair
I sent you off to purgatory
On ever descending stairs

But I swear to you
That in my dreams
An apparition comes to me
With trickery lips
It mouths to me
'I won′t ever set you free'


I buried you in a drawer
Where I hide my misshaped glories
Of former lovers and the fossils they form
In half-witted letters and skeleton stones
I left you in a hollow tree
With branches intertwined
I left you adrift on a dead pan lake
On the outskirts of my mind

But I swear to you
That in my dreams
An apparition comes to me
As I fight to wake up
I can hear it scream
'I won′t ever set you free′

I'm a haunted man
I′m a haunted man
Being used up as your host
I'm a haunted man
A haunted man
Haunted by your ghost

Someone call an exorcist
I′m afraid pretty soon
My head will twist


I'm a haunted man
Don′t you see I am
Crawling up these walls
I'm a haunted man
'Cause I never meant
To see you leave at all
