The doorway in the foyer has been frozen shut for months
I screamed when the first snow came and I haven’t since shut up
And you left your keys on the velvet armchair
You must be floating around here somewhere

something red keeps dripping from the ceiling while we sleep
I always doze right through it then I wake up in soaked sheets
And you must have vanished before the sunrise
Though I don’t recall you coming home last night

Two poltergeists
Too late to exorcise
Thought we’d survive
If we ignored the things that go bump in the night
This empty endless manor’s feeling overcrowded
We’re sleeping in the same bed
But in two different haunted houses

I faced the bathroom mirror and I said your name three times,
You showed up, sheathed your knife and said “Don’t call me on this line”
But you still text me at midnight on Christmas
I guess there’s still some unfinished business

A hundred baby spiders hatch each time I pop a zit
You tell me that your therapist thinks mine is full of shit
And you beg “Spirit, find somewhere else to roam”
But it takes two ghosts to make a haunted home

Two poltergeists
Too late to exorcise
Thought we’d survive
If we ignored the things that go bump in the night
This empty endless manor’s feeling overcrowded
We’re sleeping in the same bed
But in two different haunted houses

Every day this hallway seems to grow a little longer
I’ve yanked on every doorknob in this hell but I think it’ll take someone a little stronger
We called for help and someone slipped a key under the door
I’ve tried it on a thousand different locks, but I don’t know if I have the living will to keep trying on a thousand more

Two poltergeists
Too late to exorcise
Thought we’d survive
If we ignored the things that go bump in the night
This empty endless manor’s feeling overcrowded
We’re sleeping in the same bed
But in two different haunted houses
