Poltergeist Lyrics

When I saw you in the basement

I felt sacred

In a red light

Moving out some ancient death rights

Bound for an apartment down the street from mine

I asked you what you were saving

Something cut me

Joked you cursed me

And you laughed

You said this stuff is haunted

But I want it

And I won't give it back

In the daylight I walk around

With my head down, fully stoned, alone

The years go by quickly

But the days oh so slow

I embrace it

I can take it

All on my own

There is no perfection

Just intention

Saw you walking with your friends

Couldn't hide soon enough to pretend

It never happened

But I guess that you can

Nothing plagues me like a neutral stance

Would you absolve me if you had the chance?

When i saw you you seemed anxious

Can't get past it

Are you happy?

Were you ever?

I'm not happy

But I'm healthy

Its amazing how sleeping helps

If you wont absolve me i'll absolve myself

In the Charles River

In a hospital for people

Whose friends couldn't help them

I promise you're safe

You couldn't promise the same

You laughed and said i'd still be afraid

Your love is haunted

I don't want it

Give it away
