lyrics

a dead hand punches through the wall for me
i reach out for the live hands of a friend and shriek
when i realize they've moved deeper into the haunted house
guess i gotta do this by myself

maybe what's scariest in't what's witchiest or hairiest
its when you look in the mirror
and don't see clearer who you are
who am i?

well i can say confidently:

i am not Frankenstein's monster (you should know)
i just feel odlly put together in the twilight glow
scare myself when i look in the mirror
scare myself when i look in the mirror

searching for yourself is like
bobbing for apples sometimes
when there are no apples to find
and the water in the barrel is cold

but at least i know:

i am not Dracula, i wont suck your blood
standing in shadows, lost myself in my hood
i cannot see myself in the mirror
i cannot see myself in the mirror

i hold my own hand now
in the haunted house

Ditch Lily recommends:

the woods
by metagirl

i've said this to her before, but metagirl's music is cinematic, genuine, and gentle while also always being irresistibly catchy. i am always looking out for what Elora is going to do next. Ditch Lily
