You Said It Was Just Halloween
You said it’s just the night relax unwind
But whispers cut like static through the mind
You said it’s just the kids the jokes the play
But footsteps trailed and never walked away
You said it’s just the wind behind the door
But air grew thick and colder than before
You said it’s just the moon the silver haze
But every street was smoke and phantom blaze
You said it’s just the dark it hides the town
But eyes lit up when all the lights went down
You said it’s just a dream the fear the fun
But dawn came slow and found the street undone
You said it’s just a tale forget move on
But some of us still swear we heard that song
You said it’s just one night it fades by noon
Then something laughed beneath the dying moon
