GHOSTS IN OUR ROOM
Lyrics and Music by Tartie


Don’t be afraid
they can’t hurt you now
You weren’t safe
You have so much power

I would build a barricade
to block them out
You are not them
That is not what you are about

“It doesn’t matter anymore,”
That’s what she said
Broken thoughts they can’t be healed
Using the same head
Now at times I’ve tried so hard
To protect you
But we are all just holding on
We got ghosts in our room

One day you woke up
And the damage was done
You missed the main show
You were the last one to know

We don’t always know
What is coming next
But I’ll be there for you
With two bullet-proof vests

“It doesn’t matter anymore,”
That’s what she said
Broken thoughts they can’t be healed
Using the same head
Now at times I’ve tried so hard
To protect you
But we are all just holding on
We got ghosts in our room
We got ghosts in our room

I would build a barricade
to block them out
You are nothing
That is not what you are about

“It doesn’t matter anymore,”
That’s why she said
Broken thoughts they can’t be healed
Using the same head
Now at times I’ve tried so hard
To protect you
But we are only holding on
We got ghosts in our room
We got ghosts in our room
We got ghosts in our room

I would build a barricade
to block them out
You are not them
That is not what you are about
