I saw a ghost today It was myself I'm one with the forsaken We're all alone and breaking We'll all die and never reawaken Watching but never controlling When I look in the mirror what do I see? The demon that lurks within me A gaze unbroken, unable to unsee Hurting and never healing Anguish is all I know Shake and break The void calls my name Enticing me Telling me life will never be the same Condemned to loss I've given up on hope Now I pray I can cut me loose From the darkness that's inside of me No I will not become another fucking tragedy Faded, jaded My thoughts intoxicated But through the struggle My will has dominated Rotten Mind Bound to purgatory Lost without the light Stomped into darkness I am but a rotting carcass This darkness is all I know Life made me to be alone Distorted by direliction Lost with no direction I can't find my way Bury me neck deep in the dirt of blame Paralysed in pain Bury me neck deep in the dirt of blame Licked by flames that hiss my name An addict to pain A face for the insane Oh please let me die I've now cut the veins of my sickness Bleeding out, fading into grey Becoming nothing but a blank space The forsaken One step forward One thousand steps down Straight into hell I'm what no one wants to see There's nothing left Just pain inside of me How do I break free? In agony, I cannot scream I plea, yet no one is listening I saw a ghost today It was my self, burning in hell Almost two decades of "I'm okay" Silently suffering Frayed to the core Never to be restored This is more than just paranoid Chained here Forevermore This is our place in the void This is my spot in the void
