Ghost
Looking through the glass of the past
I'm alone under this cover.
I never heard myself say goodbye
I never told myself that I'd be able to discover
The good will hidden beneath the lies of others
I'm drowning. Drowning deeply beneath this sorrow
Waiting for a sign that I will awake to see tomorrow
No longer do I starve for my grand conjuration
My ghosts within claw their way out
Their fiery gaze covers me within their haze
Flames erupt all around. Never do they astound.
Peering into the darkness I see my own likeness
Melting away under the pressure
Staring into this abyss that has been revealed to me
Howls of the forgotten, souls of darkness are all I see
Despite all of this, the fear within me, it sleeps once more
Like a new-born child, devoid of total fear
A seed that shall soon grow into a tree
I can feel them coming; they’re so near
Like air, moving so fast, so no one can see
Can they hear the stench of fear emitting off my body
G-d, they’re everywhere. If I die now, how shall I bleed?
Will it come out at once? Or will it be slow and gaudy?
They’re ripping into me, like parasites they feed
The darkness consumes me.
Its eyes peer so deeply into my soul
Creating a cage, from which I can never be set free
Why does it cackle so loudly? What is its goal?
My time has expired
I’ve been living on borrowed time
To truly live, it’s all I’ve ever desired
This feeling, death, it’s beyond sublime
This euphoria has consummated itself upon my heart
Slowly ripping into me and conquering me like a wave
Its blue crimson entering me and ripping me apart
Am I truly a soul that others should not save?
I wish I could close my eyes
But they’ve been open for so long
Within a second, more of this dies
This feeling, it feels so wrong
To what device do I owe you, death?
Quick, choke me for every last ounce
Of my feeling, of my ever-growing breath
Life, your touch I do finally renounce
Follow me over the mountains of the dark
Our blackened hearts shall guide the way
Can you see it? The life-giving ark
The twilight of night and day
Mesmerize me. Rip into my end.
Tear it out! Tear it out! Let it gleam!
Create scars that none can mend
Create pain; hear my bloodcurdling scream
Shall you bury me under the cold warmth of moonlight?
Or the blistering aurora of the radiant feather above all
Speak not, for the moon shall cover our sight
It shall cover our eyes with the flowers of fall
Shape without form shall be what’s left
A casket without an inner hollow soul
Death took it away, yet another petty theft
No one can see what has been thrown into a hole
Only darkness shall be left in their eyes
The same darkness we all see before we perish
The same I see when a part of me dies
Only darkness shall be left, when we lose everything we cherish.
I'm alone under this cover.
I never heard myself say goodbye
I never told myself that I'd be able to discover
The good will hidden beneath the lies of others
I'm drowning. Drowning deeply beneath this sorrow
Waiting for a sign that I will awake to see tomorrow
