The Ghosts in the Orphanage

I thought I buried you deep enough
That no one could ever hurt you again
Who am I if not the latest no one?
You've been known to let the wrong ones in
Now I can't fall asleep
With your deafening heartbeat

CCTV check the playback
You'll see thirteen ghosts in plague masks
Parade of phantom heartbreakers
And half their faces look like mine

Shuffling shadows by the doorframe
Every time I wake up yelling out your name
I throw myself under the covers
The only lover left alive

I thought I buried you deep enough
That you'd never get to hurt me again
You might be living happy off with somebody else
Cuz in my graveyard the dead never seem to stay dead

I slam the deadbolt to the basement
Too much a coward to even look at their faces
Awaiting horrifying fates in a place that comes from inside me

I thought I buried you deep enough
That I'd never have to hurt you again
I thought I'd finally get a moment of peace
But in my graveyard the dead never seem to stay dead
Nobody ever gets a night's rest

You weren't good for me
But there's no one else to miss
What we had was temporary, never felt like a fit
But even after things got scary it was better than this
I'm begging someone call the sisters
Call the priest call the nurse
He won't come down from the ledge
Another lonely boy haunted by the ghosts in the walls of the orphanage

I don't remember our first kiss
I can't remember the good times
All I remember is killing you
I dream about it every night

I don't remember our first date
It's hidden behind the goodbye
I'm having nightmares I'm hurting you
They keep me up all night every night

You weren't good for me
But there's no one else to miss
What we had was temporary, never felt like a fit
But even after things got scary it was better than this
I'm begging someone call the sisters
Call the priest call the nurse
He won't come down from the ledge
Another lonely boy haunted by the ghosts in the walls of the orphanage

You weren't good to me
But there's no one else to miss
What we had was temporary, never felt like a fit
But even after things got scary it was better than this
I'm begging someone call the sisters
Call the priest call the nurse
He won't come down from the ledge
Another lonely boy haunted by the ghosts in the walls of the orphanage

I don't remember our first kiss
I can't remember the good times
All I remember is killing you
I dream about it every night

I don't remember our first date
It's hidden behind the goodbye
I'm having nightmares I'm hurting you
They keep me up all night every night

I don't remember our first kiss
It's hidden behind the goodbye
I'm having nightmares I'm hurting you
They keep me up every night
