There's a ghost in my house,
I realize it's you,
You I see through,
You were right,
We don't know each other.

We're staying together for the sake of our memories,
That we love and cherish we can't let them down.

Surely our souls will perish,
Surely our souls will perish.

There's a ghost in my heart,
I'm not willing to free,
It symbolizes me,
But I'm not ready,
I'm scared of the bugs,
A millionth of the size of me.

We're staying together for the sake of our memories,
That we love and cherish we can't let them down.

Surely our souls will perish,
Surely, surely, surely, 
We're staying together for the sake of our memories,
That we love and cherish we can't let them down,
We're staying together for the sake of our memories,
That we love and cherish we can't let them down,
Down.

I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared.
I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared.

We're staying together for the sake of our memories,
That we love and cherish we can't let them down,
We're staying together for the sake of our memories,
That we love and cherish we can't let them down

Surely our souls will perish,
Surely our souls will perish,
Surely our souls will perish,
Surely, surely, surely, surely, surely, surely.

Curve

In mathematics, a curve (also called a curved line in older texts) is, generally speaking, an object similar to a line but which is not required to be straight. This entails that a line is a special case of curve, namely a curve with null curvature. Often curves in two-dimensional (plane curves) or three-dimensional (space curves) Euclidean space are of interest. more »
