I look over my shoulder And the shadow at my back dips away The moon sways And behind me in the darkness I hear An empty sound Too hollow and profound to really understand Too backwards and garbled to comprehend And yet I pretend That the nightmares don't make me sweat And I pretend Like the spirits will make me forget But they don't And I won't It appears I'm not done here yet

Over My Shoulder
I look over my shoulder And the shadow at my back dips away The moon sways And behind me in the darkness I hear An empty sound Too hollow and profound to really understand Too backwards and garbled to comprehend And yet I pretend That the nightmares don't make me sweat And I pretend Like the spirits will make me forget But they don't And I won't It appears I'm not done here yet
