Ghostride

As I step down to the platform from the train
Trying to shake off what I may or may not have just seen
I must have been asleep (where did I sleep last night?)
It must have been a dream
No way that could have been
No matter, never mind

As I'm walking out to a dimly lit street
(Seems so familiar)
There's a taxi standing, waiting with the back door open
I told him where I'm going
He said "I already know
Get in and close the door
We'll take the scenic ride

Yeah, I know where I'm taking you to
The guests, they await you
They've waited so long for this day
The ride's not a long way"

Something inside me drawing me, guiding me
Something alive clawing me, biting me
Something that hides right here beside me
Just like the strange man sitting here driving me
Watch from the inside of black, empty spaces
Reach out from all dark places
Dragging their fingers on innocent faces
They reach for me
Calling me... Holding me... Taking me

Killer
Taker
Time to face your maker
Killer inside of me
Taking a bite of me

Laying his sight on me
Dragging me
Pulling me down

"I'm not sure if you ever knew
The house that awaits you
Has suffered from many had dreams
Some still remain

Some come in chains, some come without
Some of them only at night they come out
Where they stalk all the hallways, stairways, doorways
Keep them all closed by they'd only find more ways
To seek you, find you
Walk right behind you
Get under your skin and get into your mind
And you can't get them out
You scream and you shout till you cannot take
Cannot take
Cannot take anymore"

Killer
Taker
Time to face your maker
Killer inside of me
Taking a bite of me
Laying his sight on me
Dragging me
Pulling me down

"You walk from here just down the way
To the house that is dark gray
No need to pay for the ride
They've paid me for one way"
