Daylight Ghosts Lyrics

When I was young and beginning

I was afraid of the dark

As I got older, I learned to

Put it in quotation marks

Now I'm not afraid of the shades and the shapes

Cos the shadows know what I fear most

Is the daylight ghosts

Was it a dream that I saw you

My inexplicable friend

I must have forgot that you'll never

Darken my doorstep again

I looked once more at the shapes in the rust

On the door

But they didn't come close

To the daylight

Daylight

Daylight ghosts

So lock me away in the darkness

Play me your nightmarish dreams

I'm not afraid of your vampires

And your vampires aren't afraid of me

My guests smile and wave as they head to the graves

Where they'll feast on a more generous host

A mirror reflecting nothing

A curtain about to be drawn

The smell of damp newspaper

Please hold the doors on the dawn

I'm not afraid of the choices I made

But the voices know what I fear most

Is the daylight ghosts

I'm not afraid of the shades and the shapes

Cos the shadows know what I fear most

Is the daylight

Daylight

Daylight ghosts
