"Dearly Departed" lyrics

"Dearly Departed"
(feat. Esme Patterson)

Well you and I both know that the house is haunted
And you and I both know that the ghost is me
You used to catch me in your bed sheets just rattling your chains
Well back then baby, it didn't seem so strange

You used to bite, I used to moan
But now I mumble and you choke
Well I ain't so scary on my own
Tell me honey, what's a dagger without a cloak?
Well, I don't know

'Cause, you and I both know that the house is haunted
And you and I both know that the ghost is me
You used to catch me in your bed sheets just rattling your chains
Well back then baby, it didn't seem so strange

In the midnight hour, you came alive
I was looking for my crystal ball
I was busy trying to charm that snake ssss
When the sun came up, we had no place to hide
And you had to tell your friends that my fangs were fake
I just had to

Well, you and I both know that the house is haunted
And you and I both know that the ghost is me
You used to catch me in your bed sheets just rattling your chains
Well back then baby, it didn't seem so strange

But even when one is dead and gone
It still takes two to make a house a home
Well I'm as lonesome as the catacombs
I hear you call my name but no one's there
Except a feeling in the air

You and I both know that the house is haunted
Yeah, you and I both know that the ghost is you
Used to walk around screaming, oh, slamming all them doors
Well I'm all grown up now, I don't scare easy no more

Yeah, you and I both know
Yeah, you and I both know
Yeah, you and I both know
