Madder Mortem - 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
