Creep

This is a rough-cut demo of my new song "You Still Haunt Me".

I wanted to write a song about someone being haunted by someone they love. But I didn't want the reason they were being haunted to be that the other person loved them for eternity. Instead I went with something much darker...


I never thought an empty chair
Would cause me so much pain
Once upon a time you sat there
But you’re not seen again
We came apart, two disparate souls
I never should have let you go
Now you’re not there

    And you, you still haunt me
    The burden of our sin 
    Where did it all begin
    To go so wrong?
    And you, you still haunt me
    I saw it in your eyes
    The weight of all the lies,
    You still haunt me.

Out of the corner of my eye
I think I still see you
And every time I wonder why
I ever let you go.
I hear your whisper on the wind
Calling me to be by your side
But you’re not there

Footsteps in the dark
A scream in the silent night
Your breath upon my skin
The cold sweat of fright
I thought it was the end
But you go on

I went to where I last left you
Deep in the forest pines
I asked if you could forgive me,
If I would heal with time.
But six feet of soil above you
Fills the gap between our souls
I hate you but
I miss you

You Still Haunt Me (DEMO)

A cover of "The Night We Met" by Lord Huron
