This is the fortieth of my proposed 262 song-a-weeks. If you wanna see the video, it's here: youtu.be/82G0qTEPL0s -- and if you want to help me keep doing this, throw me a buck a song at my Patreon: www.patreon.com/BrendanMilburn

lyrics

i have been terrified
i start at the slightest sound
the squeak of a mouse in this haunted house
makes my feeble heart begin to pound

i have been terrified
of all that might come to pass
of what might go wrong this whole day long
of what i might see in that old looking glass

for what scares me the most is a singular ghost
who's unwilling to leave me alone
for no matter what I might do to distract him, he's tenacious, he's undaunted
he is there every night when i turn out the light
he is there when i pick up the phone
he is there when i think i have driven him out - he's the fellow who keeps this house haunted

i have sought some way out
and yet i remain inside
each hallway, each door
leads to one hallway more
and the exit, i find,
is locked deep in my mind
you can run, you can flee,
but you'll never be free
of your haunted house
while you remain terrified.
