Daylight Ghosts
When I was young and beginning
I was afraid of the dark
As I got older, I learned to
Put it in quotation marks
Now I'm not afraid of the shades and the shapes
Cos the shadows know what I fear most
Is the daylight ghosts
Was it a dream that I saw you
My inexplicable friend
I must have forgot that you'll never
Darken my doorstep again
I looked once more at the shapes in the rust
On the door
But they didn't come close
To the daylight
Daylight
Daylight ghosts
So lock me away in the darkness
Play me your nightmarish dreams
I'm not afraid of your vampires
And your vampires aren't afraid of me
My guests smile and wave as they head to the graves
Where they'll feast on a more generous host
A mirror reflecting nothing
A curtain about to be drawn
The smell of damp newspaper
Please hold the doors on the dawn
I'm not afraid of the choices I made
But the voices know what I fear most
Is the daylight ghosts
I'm not afraid of the shades and the shapes
Cos the shadows know what I fear most
Is the daylight
Daylight
Daylight ghosts
I was afraid of the dark
As I got older, I learned to
Put it in quotation marks
Now I'm not afraid of the shades and the shapes
Cos the shadows know what I fear most
Is the daylight ghosts
Was it a dream that I saw you
My inexplicable friend
I must have forgot that you'll never
Darken my doorstep again
I looked once more at the shapes in the rust
On the door
But they didn't come close
To the daylight
Daylight
Daylight ghosts
So lock me away in the darkness
Play me your nightmarish dreams
I'm not afraid of your vampires
And your vampires aren't afraid of me
My guests smile and wave as they head to the graves
Where they'll feast on a more generous host
A mirror reflecting nothing
A curtain about to be drawn
The smell of damp newspaper
Please hold the doors on the dawn
I'm not afraid of the choices I made
But the voices know what I fear most
Is the daylight ghosts
I'm not afraid of the shades and the shapes
Cos the shadows know what I fear most
Is the daylight
Daylight
Daylight ghosts
