Ghost

(C) E.Edwards, October 2014

Ghost

And the fog comes crawling in,
Concealing all from sanity.
And under the weight of the world,
I can’t feel a thing at all.
And the poison takes control,
Buries my blood and conscious thought.
The shadow that hunts you down,
Numb to the prey.

It’s so hard not to feel alone.
Moving on and never escaping
The past that brought me to chasing the future in vain.

CHORUS:
I am the ghost that cannot bleed,
You are the non-believer.
I guess I dare not look or touch
As the devil gets under my skin.
I am the eyeless memory
Who cannot find good reason.
Watching reflections turn to dust
As the lights pull you away.

And the being I have walked,
Damaged goods that I’ve become.
I cover what’s broken,
But somehow you still notice the difference.
Every scar that I have sold,
Every tear I’ve bled to stone.
It’s taken me so damn long,
And you still won’t realize something’s wrong.

And it’s so hard not to feel alone.
The demon I keep here inside
Stands in front of me when I’m broken in your eyes.

CHORUS

Cold! The silence of the unaccepting world!
Raping and abusing me!
No mortal should ever feel this stone!
Out of touch with everything!

It’s so hard not to feel alone.
Moving on and never escaping
The past that brought me to chasing the future in vain.
And it’s so hard not to feel alone.
The demon I keep here inside
Stands in front of me when I’m broken in your eyes.

CHORUS
