Took you somewhere quiet Sundown's silence Casting ghosts in shadows Your memory gently fading Maybe I'm the one that's changing Woke up hearing voices Cruel and softly spoken They whisper 'everybody's leaving' And I barely got to know them Stranger, you star in every dream I have Fable, funny how those feelings pass So it goes You would have your visions Guitars in conversation You'd sing into the shadows Your memory gently aging Knowing you, you'd say I'm the one that's changing She's a whisper on her own Like Jessica rings clearer now we've grown We've no control, not then, not now She's gone somehow, she's gone somehow Stranger, you stifle every word I write Fable, listen to your own advice No, don't get old and cheap and trite So it goes

The crack in the ceiling's starting to look like a cross Not upside down but just backwards and leaking Every day's the same these days, as candles flicker to a fade We've blown our last bulb in the kitchen Darkness makes the stories real The basement door let out a squeal Behind it we could hear a stranger breathing And the boy in the basement Crawls out across the carpet His spirit is finally speaking We don't think he'll hurt us But how could we blame him? When everybody's home And he's down there all alone Makes you wonder what's keeping him waiting
