An empty house the perfect place to hide.
The hair upon my arms is standing tall.
I take a breath and slowly peek inside.
Empty halls that echo with my call.

The hair upon my arms is standing tall.
Dust that seems to hang upon the air.
Empty halls that echo with my call.
Greetings to a presence that’s not there.

Dust that seems to hang upon the air.
Spider webs that drape across the door.
Greetings to a presence that’s not there.
Not sure of why I came here anymore.

Spider webs that drape across the door.
The smell of musty carpet all around.
Not sure of why I came here anymore.
The beating of my heart the only sound.

The smell of musty carpet all around.
I strain to bring the shadows into sight.
The beating of my heart the only sound.
I shiver as the dusk turns into night.

I strain to bring the shadows into sight.
I take a breath and slowly peek inside.
I shiver as the dusk turns into night.
An empty house the perfect place to hide.
