Lost memories come back to me
Feels like I'm in a time machine
It only happens periodically
And usually just before I dream

But when it does I walk through rooms
That by neglect now feel like tombs
Disturb the dust
Locks sealed by rust
hear echoes of the voices past
And like a ghoul I dredge the pool 
For secrets sunk beneath the caul
To push at doors sealed by time is dangerous
For what lies behind can be relentless

Waking the dead is all but pointless
It's all in the head
But makes me reckless
It makes me reckless

Will you now tell me something new
That speaks to me across the years 
Or will it be like spin untrue
A half-truth to increase my fears

Are you a fake? keeps me awake
You promised gain delivered pain
Your eyes I see look less than sane
And when you talk
Just like a hawk 
You circle round to hunt and stalk

Mix lies with truth
Show me half proof
And drag me down
Deep underneath
Where all is dark 
And hope found wanting

So like a fox
I'll keep the
Hounds at bay
And fight until the break of day

Waking the dead.....etc.

I'll keep both my eyes open
I'll keep my ears pinned to the ground
I'll check I'm not being followed
I'll check that he's not around
It's just a sentimental fear
That makes me want to keep him in his place
I'm scared that he will want to take my life
I'm scared it's me he'll replace
