Within-Reach - Ghosts in the Dark

Leaves are falling fast
They're never meant to last
I miss young ignorance when
Everyone loved to laugh
I'd spend my holidays
Finding different ways
To waste away the summer until it was too late
From under my bed
Or home in my head
The ghouls that still chase me replaced by regret
I've littered my days
With stones left unchanged
It's fear without fiction constricting
Twenty years on
What has gone wrong cause
These ghosts in the dark
No longer belong here now
It's twenty years on
I'm scared like I was but
These ghosts in the dark
No longer have ways to get me down
The corner of my mind
Where I try to find
The joy of adolescence
Is starting to unwind
Staring out the windows
Dressing in the same clothes
Precious time was wasting and we didn't know
From under my bed
Or home in my head
The ghouls that still chase me replaced by regret
I've littered my days
With stones left unchanged
It's fear without fiction constricting
This world keeps turning
With forests that burn and
We're starting to learn that there's no return
They keep kids busy
With tablets and TV
The monsters they hide from won't seem so bad
Twenty years on
What has gone wrong cause
These ghosts in the dark
No longer belong here now
It's twenty years on
I'm scared like I was but
These ghosts in the dark
No longer have ways to get me down
This world keeps turning
With forests that burn and
We're starting to learn that there's no return
They keep kids busy
With tablets and TV
The monsters they hide from won't seem so bad
