Ghost In My Emotion

In fading distant dreams you will return
Until you are a whisper
A ghost in my emotion
Embrace your world and all it holds
Keep your mind's false sanctuary
Spread your wings and try to soar

Cast love aside and look away
A wake of pain trailing behind
Follow the blind with open eyes
Searching for your absolution
Knowing it doesn't exist
Self-given atonement, for self-made sins

Your compassion strangely vacant
A façade to hide the hate
Your sincere lies flow easily
A feigned image of your soul
Forgotten virtues long since dead
Your voice haunts my dreams

Stand back and watch me fall
Clutch the air where I once stood
The emptiness, just a reflection of your heart

In fading distant dreams you still return
Nothing more than a whisper
A remnant of our love
Cast love aside and look away
A wake of pain trailing behind

Stand back and watch me fall
Clutch the air where I once stood
The emptiness, just a reflection of your heart
Stand back and watch me fall
Clutch the air where I once stood
The emptiness, just a reflection of your heart

Stand back and watch me fall
I spread my wings but I fail to soar
Stand back and watch me fall
Better dead than half alive
Stand back and watch me fall
