Shadows Coming Home

Truth is a ghost

Now it haunts you, haunts you

Sneaks in through your windows when you close the door

Shadows coming home

Caught off-guard and sleeping, you stand naked and confused

Hiding your heart in an empty hand

This ghost treads too close to home

Gives you back what is your own

It's still not true though you fool yourself

These ghosts reappear

Sharp and bright and clear

So hear me when I say it

See me when I show it

There's no way around it

There is no way you don't know it

Here it comes

Here it comes

Truth is a ghost

Now it taunts you, taunts you

Rips through your defences when you're most alone

Shadows coming home

Thoughts kept down in darkness driven out into the light

Hiding your fear in an empty hand

This ghost follows where you go

To voice what you already knew

It's still a lie if you fool yourself

These ghosts reappear

Sharp and bright and clear

Hear me when I say it

See me when I show it

There's no way around it

And I know you know it

Here it comes

Here it comes

Hear me when I say it

See me when I show it

There's no way around it

Let me tell you: we all know it

Shadows coming home
