lyrics:
HAO:
I HOPE I'M NOT RIGHT
I HOPE YOU WON'T THINK ME INSANE
BUT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH JÓZEF

I WILL NOT LOOK ASIDE
FROM WHAT THOUGHTS I ENTERTAIN
I KNOW SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH JÓZEF

HE COMES HOME TOO EARLY
COMES HOME TOO LATE
COMES HOME TOO DRUNK
WANTS FOOD ON HIS PLATE

A DIFFERENT STEP
A DIFFERENT SMELL
FORGETS A SONG
HE SHOULD KNOW WELL
FORGETS A SONG
HE SHOULD KNOW WELL

SOMETHING HIDES INSIDE YOUR SKIN
I DON’T KNOW WHEN I LET IT IN
WATER DROPLETS ON THE DOOR
I DON'T KNOW YOU ANYMORE

ONLY BREATHING WHEN YOU’RE GONE
SEEKING MULES I’M SITTING ON
WATER PUDDLES ON THE FLOOR
I DON'T KNOW YOU ANYMORE

HIS SKIN TOO LOOSE
HIS VOICE TOO LOW
HIS EYES TOO SCARED
I STOP, HE'LL GO

HIS BED IS DARK
HE PLAYS TOO ROUGH
HE CALLS ME 'LOVE'
BUT NOT ENOUGH
HE CALLS ME 'LOVE'
BUT NOT ENOUGH

SOMETHING HIDES BEHIND YOUR EYES
SOMETHING FEEDS ON MY SURPRISE
SOMETHING THAT I CAN’T IGNORE
I DON'T KNOW YOU ANYMORE

YOU FORGET THE WAY WE WALKED
ONLY SHOUT THE WAY WE TALKED
ASKING WHAT I’M FRIGHTENED FOR
I DON'T KNOW YOU ANYMORE

MY GRANDFATHER SAID NOT TO PLAY NEAR THE SHORE
IF SOMEONE HAD DROWNED THEMSELVES THERE BEFORE
THEIR GHOST GRABS YOUR ANKLE AND SWITCHES YOUR PLACES
A GHOST WITH A THOUSAND FAMILIAR FACES

WHEN DID YOU CHANGE? 
WHY WASN’T I THERE? 
WHY DID YOU DROWN? 
WHY COME UP FOR AIR? 

I WILL CAST OUT A ROPE
TO THE AFTERLIFE’S SEA
YOU WILL NOT HAVE HIM
YOU WILL NOT HAVE ME 

I HOPE I’M RIGHT
I HOPE YOU DON’T GET WHAT YOU WANTED
HOW DARE YOU WRONG MY JÓZEF? 

I HOPE I’M RIGHT 
I DON’T KNOW WHY THIS HOUSE IS HAUNTED
HOW DARE YOU WRONG MY JÓZEF?

I Don't Know You Anymore (GHOST STORY demo by Mel Hornyak and Elliot Valentine)

lyrics:
I want to hold her hand
It might be hard because of knife finger
But I’m determined to make it work
She’s in superhell and I miss her

She’s my hallway wife
My door wife
I’ll wipe her off my kin list
My hallway wife
My door wife
I want to be stabbed and kissed
Woah!

My hallway wife
My door wife
I will miss you queen
My hallway wife
My door wife
She’s so cool and evil and swag

I can excuse apocalypse hellscape
But I draw the line at being a Tory
Though she’s a spiral wife, a staircase wife
the most fun character in the story

She’s my hallway wife
My door wife
I’ll wipe her off my kin list
My hallway wife
My door wife
I want to be stabbed and kissed
Woah!

My hallway wife
My door wife
I will miss you queen
My hallway wife
My door wife
She’s so cool and evil and swag

I cannot fucking believe she was a tory

cool and evil and swag
