They Come Back

I cut you off but I still look at your posts
It’s like I’m only living for the distant ghosts
Thought I put you behind, but I’m still looking for you
In the secret way where you can’t see what I do
I’m only wondering where you are now
Even if you were the one to bring me down
I know you’re poisonous and no good for me
And I don’t want you back, I’m just checking stories

Dancing through the halls of my mind
Like a catacomb of memories falling to the beat
And crashing to the floor in a perfect even line
When you step into my world, you’ll be under freezing heat

I don’t want you here, so off the edge you’re shoved
You were only cause for a heart attack
But be careful just who you let go of
Because sometimes they come back

They come back, they come back
They come back, sometimes they come back

I’m able to live out of anger now
But I’ll still be fucking up and hear you now
It sends a haunting kind of shock through me
It goes deeper than any living thing can see
I remember looking at your crooked face
When I said I still loved you on that cursed staircase
I wish I knew what you’d done when I told you that
But no one in the room knew where their head was at

It’s been a year since I shut you out and I’m moving up
But I can still smell the smoke from miles above
Now, the demons from your hands don’t constantly attack
But don’t you worry now, you know, because sometimes they come back
