[Verse 1]
I was a ghost sleeping in the walls
Hiding behind bedposts, lost in vapid halls
Cold and pale, trying to keep sane
Learning to prevail against my own brain

[Chorus]
And I never fully appeared
'Cause all the kids thought I was weird

[Verse 2]
So I polished off the clocks and set them all to chime
Waited at the docks while they sang at the same time
And I made all of the beds and dusted all the chairs
I got it in my head, maybe someone would care

[Chorus]
But I never fully appeared
'Cause all the kids thought I was weird
No, I never fully appeared
'Cause all the kids thought I was weird

[Verse 3]
So I held my breath in corners trying to be brave
Watching while they mourned her girl that could be saved
Kissing all her pictures, wishing she'd survived
Reading lines from scripture like they did when she was alive

[Chorus]
And I never shed a tear
'Cause death was all I had feared
No, I never fully appeared
'Cause all the kids thought I was weird
