Spooks from the past
what is this you want
why am I
standing here
listening in pain to you
Spooks from the past
little kid legs crossed
so scared
of the belt
No chance to atone
Spooks from the past
trying hard to sing
no words but
yours
chastising and cruel
Spooks from the past
driving every action
challenging
freedom
always looming large
And then the gift
of total understanding
it was only
what it was
and they're gone now
Spooks from my past
give way to power
and the present
closes
down and I am complete
