In the shadows of that county park we'd gather
With laughter mixed in sorrow and lost dreams
Hippies spinning tales, under fading light
But I was just a child caught in their schemes
That night the police rolled in, the night grew cold
I clutched the bottles tight, too young to know
Cursed by the choices that I didn't make
Watching friends fade, creating more heart ache
A ghost in the night, whispering fear
Filling the silence, a presence so near
Handcuffed and swept away, the sirens wailed
I stared at my friends as their laughter paled"You'll regret this path, it's a tangled web"
Their faces fading fast, each one a dread
One by one they fell, their lives turned to dust
A dark spirit lingered, twisting in mistrust
Cursed by the choices that I didn't make
Watching friends fade, creating more heart ache
A ghost in the night, whispering fear
Filling the silence, a presence so near
One by one they fell, their lives turned to dust
A dark spirit lingered, twisting in mistrust
Cursed by the choices that I didn't make
Watching friends fade, creating more heart ache
A ghost in the night, whispering fear
Filling the silence, a presence so near
So heed my tale, tread lightly, beware
For the shadows can follow, unseen in the air
