Footsteps in the Hallway, A SWG-Starburst Song |
LyricsFootsteps In The Hallway© 2014 Starburst/SWG I keep sleeping in the daytime Though I'm wide awake at night These dreams are far too heavy Cause my soul's become too light Had I known my life was ending I'd of prayed a whole lot more It's a purgatory feeling And it lasts forever more I can feel right thru the darkness And it seems as bright as day It's a nightmare of forgiveness Though I know I never paid I keep longing for the silence Of these voices in my head But this burning demon presence Chants the yearnings of the dead (chorus) There are footsteps in the hallway There's a creaking on the stair Perhaps the front door lockset Was never really there There's a silver blade a-shining With a slice of pure delight I won't bother to continue Breathing in this air tonight Could you please take this forgiveness? Cause I really want you to I never really earned it So I'll give it back to you It's a gift that makes me lonely In the solitude of truth It's a dirty guilty secret I acquired in my youth My father was a sailor Though I hardly knew the man He had passed this way to heaven Shortly after I could stand Though all the days keep passing Just because they know they can I will never reach the promise Sinking in all this quicksand (chorus) There are footsteps in the hallway There's a creaking on the stair Perhaps the front door lockset Was never really there There's a silver blade a-shining With a slice of pure delight I won't bother to continue Breathing in this air tonight (bridge) I keep standing in the sunshine In the middle of the night And I know my eyes are open But my heart is frozen tight Will I be this way forever? Without chivalry or shame I keep screaming on the inside At the monster I became (chorus) There are footsteps in the hallway There's a creaking on the stair Perhaps the front door lockset Was never really there There's a silver blade a-shining With a slice of pure delight I won't bother to continue Breathing in this air tonight |
