No matter what I do
Nothing looks right in this space
I fill the floor with fittings I fancy
And trim the walls with memories I couldn't erase

You'll play the white pawn
I'll anticipate your next move
And after some rearrangements
I've found there's simply no extra room

But I'm haunted by your apparition
It's my fault by my admission
That you've found your way back here
So now finish up your business
'Cause I really don't need this
I wish you would disappear

So I'll pay no mind
To the fact that you've unpacked
You've far too much baggage in tow
For a megalomaniac
I get cold in your presence
And I can see right through you
I've learned that scars can fade away
And I was hoping you would too

But I haunted by your apparition
It's my fault by my admission
That you've found your way back here
And you'll call me by my name
Find some things to rearrange
I just wish you'd disappear

I will exorcise
Before you realize
I will not compromise myself
You don't make me tremble
Not nearly terrified
I won't let you prey on my mind

You'll find me every night
Listening to all your cries
They get progressively severe
But I'll close my eyes
As you send shivers down my spine
And eventually you'll disappear
