True Stories

"Transmitting brand new Jumpsteady..."
 (Jumpsteady)
 Now I lay me down to sleep
 I pray the Lord my soul to keep
 Time swifts back upon my bed
 As the undead walk inside my head
 Don't you hear the ghostly calls?
 Transcending from beyond the walls
 They have shown in this life I've known
 There's another world beyond our own
 Twisted, broken, shadow land
 Connected by paths of emerald sand
 Have you seen the things I've seen?
 Been visited by phantom beings?
 Haunted by those in hooded cloaks
 Or been in the séance to invoke
 Many who see don't believe
 Because they chose naivety
 (Chorus)
 Don't you know that ghosts exist?
 Do you believe in exorcist?
 Don't you know that demons live?
 Do you live a life of sin?
 Don't you know they'll comfort you?
 Depending on the path you choose
 Don't you hear the ghostly calls?
 Or do you hide behind your walls?
 (Jumpsteady)
 Spiraling back into my past
 The nightmare upon my mind is cast
 Remembering a time so long ago
 When death took me into its fold
 As a young child awakening
 Face in a pillow suffocating
 All my senses were there to me
 But I couldn't move and I couldn't breathe
 As I died I realized
 There was a reason I was paralyzed
 Inside that room I was not alone
 There was a presence neither flesh or bone
 Even though I could not see
 I felt its evil beyond imagining
 More afraid of it than death
 I broke its hold upon my flesh
 (Chorus)
 Can't you hear the child's screams?
 Can you see horrific dreams?
 Can't you feel your death embrace?
 Can you follow the path of grace?
 Can't you see the world I see?
 Can you see the reality?
 Do you remember a time like this?
 Or is it locked away in subconsciousness?
 (Jumpsteady)
 As a child, I heard ghostly calls
 Striping insanity from my walls
 A female voice would come to me
 And say my name repeatedly
 Death's temptation from the grave
 Spoken word my life did fade
 Slowly forget as the years go by
 Plagued by nightmares, I wonder why?
 Dreams of a car flipping end to end
 Screams of a woman is deafening
 When I awake, I'm remembering
 The explosions of pain and dismembering
 Then one day a vision forms
 Inside my mind a dream was born
 I drove a car that's now destroyed
 A woman's inside like a broken toy
 Blood goes cold as I realized
 Her face is too bloody to recognize
 Looking through my horrified eyes
 Somehow I loved this woman who died
 Turning to me upon deaths embrace
 She calls my name out to space
 It's the voice of my childhood ghost
 I reach for her, but the vision is lost
 (Chorus)
 Won't you step up through the gate?
 Will you face up to your fate?
 Won't you hear their ghostly calls?
 Transcending from beyond the walls?
 Won't you enter the shadow land?
 And walk upon the emerald sand?
 Have you seen what I have seen?
 Or do you choose to be naïve?
