Ruined

We all have ghosts that haunt us from the past. The question is, are they haunting us, or are we dragging them unknowingly with us into our future?

You draw one more breath

Knowing what’s worse than death

Wake up every morning, pretending tomorrow’s a mystery

When you’re well aware that’ll end in misery

 

Day after day, year after year

You forgot the significance of a tear

For a decade, he’s been at your side

He’s inhabited a part of you, and never died

 

Whenever you dared soar higher than the sky

He’d corrupt your spirit, and crushed you like a fly

Your souls trapped in the past

How much longer could this last?

 

You were deprived of a fight

Because you knew he stole your light

He’s trying to kill you slowly

And you’re reminded that you’ll always be lonely
