Ghoul - Hellions

It wasn’t just embezzlement, you thieving witch, you don’t know the half of it

We’ve been in and out of near destitution

Terrified and disillusioned

All of this on your wretched hands, you tore apart a family man

So he took a drink and then the drink took him

And it’s been this way nearly each night since

Incredulous, track back, cheques bounce, façade cracks, we will fall apart,

you open your scars

Lost in the dark, we fall you’ll soon beg to be set free and see

My family stand tall with me

But you’ll never get that chance

This is all that you have left, how could you laugh as you watched us all fall

apart?

Two children lost in the dark

The robbed that smiles, steals something from the thief, scratch and claw,

through tooth and nail, but you will never take integrity from me

I earned to listen and I listened well

To a steady slew of trivial pleasures, with nothing left to kindle the blood

But a sordid tryst, a yielding to lust you fucked it up, so back to back,

you cover your tracks, but remember when you can’t hide from us

Hither at the end of the river

Lave in the burning shambles, perceived as fools, you played us all,

you answer to the coven call, you’re hand in hand amidst the ghouls

I hope you hear this in your sleep

When in your dreams you cannot breath

You’ll look up and you’ll see me

Taking back the youth that you stole from me

My fathers hands used to shake
