Ghost

The hands of the clock
Walk in circles
Life stands still
Have you ever felt so hollow, so empty
Living against your will

Time was never something
I imagined I'd see
Now I watch it everyday
Slip away from me
There is a ghost
Within my mind
And shadows live
In the corners of my eyes

Tell me of your first memory
Does it make you happy
Or bring agony
I did what I could to forget what I can
Now the problem is I don't know who I am
Sickness spreads
I want more
Precious poison
I adore
Erase me
Incomplete

My eyes
Rolling over white
I think I've been dead
My entire life
Once I waited for the end
Now I want to begin again

From darkness
Beauty grows
Dying roses
Painted gold
Warm words from cold souls
Reaching for hands you will never hold
