Haunt Me - Counterparts

Not what you need

Not what you need

We’ve been seduced by suffering

In spite of separation

Embedded in my head

The hallucination settles

If our memories don’t drag their feet in dirt

Their steps can’t be retraced

So we spin until we’re sick

Longing for the loss of balance

A fall that carries us from heaven to our grave

You haunt me

You haunt me like an empty home

Priceless possession

I bring you with me wherever I go

Wander through me

Rearranging my insides in search of sleep

So well rested

You forget to bring me with you when you leave

Punish my body for the things my soul has seen

I’ve been staring into sunlight counting backwards

While the radiance blinds me

Flawed reflections will make themselves at home

Convincing us to walk barefoot through miles of broken mirrors

You haunt me

You haunt me like an empty home

Priceless possession

I bring you with me wherever I go

Wander through me

Rearranging my insides in search of sleep

So well rested

You forget to bring me with you when you leave

Hollow out my body

I know you need somewhere to sleep

Change the locks on doors I’ve left open inside of me

Hollow out my body

I’m not what you need

(Not what you need)

In spite of separation

We’ve been seduced by suffering

You haunt me

Like an empty home

You haunt me

Migrate as you may

Swallowing your spare key for safekeeping

Wander where you please

Inside of me

You haunt me
