The Behest of Serpents - Haunted Walls

There's a presence in this house
And no one seems to notice
The owners hide it all too well
Despite the freezing cold
A phantom left to linger on
A distant memory
They can't see the warning signs
Deny the tortured soul
I am the ghost inside these haunted walls
The dirty secret that fate did befall
You've convinced them they can't hear my call
I exist among you
Hidden from the world
To save yourself from ridicule
Something once so beautiful
Afraid they'd label you a fool
I am the ghost inside these haunted walls
The dirty secret that fate did befall
You've convinced them they can't hear my call
I exist among you
Safe from the masses
In your world of empty glasses
Just pour another drink to fade away
Fate's premonition
Of a secret apparition
You destroyed all hope when you locked me away
It's easier to just forget
Than have to face the truth
This unseen wraith you made yourself
Despite your fervent dissent
I will make my presence known
A ghastly wail for all
The shadow steps into the light
A specter's last lament
I am the ghost inside these haunted walls
The dirty secret that fate did befall
You've convinced them they can't hear my call
I exist among you
