Haste The Day - Haunting Lyrics

Artist: Haste The Day

Album: Dreamer

Genre: Rock

  • Songwriters: Brennan Chaulk, Devin Chaulk, Stephen Keech, Michael Murphy

We are but captives, we are deceased
We know that one day we will be free
We are but captives, we are deceased
We know that one day we will be free

I've seen it again and again
We just have to close the door
And we can't ever let them in
You got what you wanted
You got what you wanted so just go

And I can't make a single noise
So what do you have to lose?
You got what you wanted
Subject to the judgment of a fool
You got what you wanted so just go

Am I meant to follow? What is it to lead?
The tone of a steady voice or
The sound of a piercing scream?

The dirt under my fingernails
Tells of the grave I'm digging
And I know there's something out there
That I have to see that's haunting me
See that's haunting me

We'll kill the parasite that lingers in our skin
The loss of appetite but you got what you wanted
We'll kill the parasite that lingers in our skin
The loss of appetite but you got what you wanted

Am I meant to follow? What is it to lead?
The tone of a steady voice or
The sound of a piercing scream?

The dirt under my fingernails
Tells of the grave I'm digging
And I know there's something out there
That I have to see that's haunting me
See that's haunting me

They'll never know, they'll never know
I'm not exactly what they wanted
The man they thought I was began to die

We just have to close the door
We can't ever let them in
You got what you wanted
Now you'll find somewhere to begin

We are but captives, we are deceased
We know that one day we will be free
We are but captives, we are deceased
We know that one day we will be free

The dirt under my fingernails
Tells of the grave I'm digging
And I know there's something out there
That I have to see, see that's haunting me
See that's haunting me, see that's haunting me

    I believe that this song is talking about how we can be haunted by the past and that we slowly change due to trial by fire. Eventually we begin to give in, and then we give others what they want. They judge us, but are foolish to do so. Because they have forced our hand, they will never know exactly what we are, how we are.
