Staring at the neon walls around me,
trying to look deeper than the eye can see;
i'm thinking of the reasons why i'm left alone,
when i'm suddenly startled by a ghostly moan.

"Where are you going?" the clown begins to taunt,
and i think, "into his arms; at least, that's what i want."
I push away the curtains and I turn around to find
my best friend and her boyfriend; their love has left them blind.

And because of this, they're unaware that they are being followed
by a group of ****** children's toys whose hearts are very hollowed.
As she screams at the creatures, her lover holds her tight;
he says "i'll hold you close, until the bad things are out of sight."

My heart is slowly bleeding as I see their innocent love;
and I'm wishing life were better when a clown drops from above.
It cackles as I'm shaking; I'm as scared as I could ever be;
i now realize there's nobody to protect me.

I soon forget the posessed walls, as I relive it once again;
the first time I came here with you, before our love had an end.
I'm oblivious to the world around me, but nobody seems to care;
the only one who would is you, but you're not even there.

Walking down this dark hallway I can't see my tears,
but i know that they're from better years.
holding the broken pieces of a heart unwanted;
this house isn't the only thing that's haunted.
