You see the truth

And you cannot hide

You're so in tune

You feel it inside



Justice revenge

Tickle all over

Lily and sword

Damnation, reward



The spirit of the stairs

Everyone thinks but no one dares 

Wishes made a sad lament

After he's gone



Ridicule or envy

Now you can't forget me

I'm fixed in your mind

Like a knot in the twine



To the dark and pouring rain

Into the trap she sets again

Hear my wooden footsteps on her train

Hear my wooden footsteps again



Tough outer shell

But so you can tell

She's soft underneath

Where you sink your teeth



Look sad, too bad, you're tongue tied

How many times a day you're too dumb or too shy

Two, three, four, five, count the stairs

Spirit hears what I should have said

And she knows why



After she's gone
