Here I walk alone in my ghost town
Where all is dead and in the ground
Where silence are the only sounds
But in my disturbed state of mind
My brain screams a piercing scream out loud
No one is living to hear me no ones is around
Here in this town stalled has time
All there possession undisturbed
I send my days talking to graves
I’ve been wearing the same black lace dress
Since their deaths
This utter loneliness has taken my dreams
and even at midnight I can’t even rest
Today I panted my fingernails black
Put my make up on and made my eyes black
Knowing with every one else I’ve died a thousand times
So today as the storm blow in I danced in the rain
And gray changed to the color of my skin
No one comes to this town they say it’s to depressing
So alone I was meant to walk here
every now and then I wish I could disappear
But I’ll never leave I was meant to be here
And guard the graves of my lost loved ones
Because where ever I may go I would still be chained here
And when I end up in a grave I’ll be berried here
my spirit will walk for eternity here
I’ve become the mistress of the night
That blackness has swept over the sun
So in my black dress I dance in the red twilight
