The ghost

Counting every hour
Fear in every note
Waiting for the nightmares to cease
Close your eyes to sleep
Silently scream

Is all of it lies this time
I lose track of what is right
I’m through with the pain and tears
My burden through all these years

Demons in my brain
Ripping me again
Tearing at my heart and my head
Twisting what is there
Until I’m bled

Is all of it lies this time
I lose track of what is right
I’m through with the pain and tears
My burden through all these years

Can you try to understand
How I hate the feeling
Of standing on the edge of my sanity
I don’t want to be here
I don’t want to feel this
I just want to sleep
Sleep perchance to dream again

Am I really here
Is this what I’ve become
A shadow of the ghost in me
An echo of a dream
Memories lost at sea

Is all of it lies this time
I lose track of what is right
I’m through with the pain and tears
My burden through all these years

I’m broken to tears
Have you seen the ghost
Have you seen the ghost
The ghost lost in me
