Ghost

How are we such strangers now?
Broken  history so far down
Do  you recognize all the ways that I’ve tried to make you proud?

Can you see me through the lies?
A final oath between our lives
Golden  ichor running from the wound I carved across your eyes

If  I forsake morning light
Will you promise not to die?

The  ghost of who you thought I was
Lost itself free-falling under the sun
I wear too many names
I can’t remember which hurts most to betray

Take  what’s left of me
There’s only so much a traitor can be
Please, lend me your strength
This is goodbye, lay my soul to rest

Arrows forged in blood and fire
One true confession from a liar
Tear me open, watch me bleed as heaven’s flames ignite my pyre

Handprint bruises on my skin
Of who I was and where I’ve been
Bury me under the name of my rebirth before my sins

If I learn to speak at last
Can you forgive my bloody past?

The ghost of who you thought I was
Lost itself free-falling under the sun
I wear too many names
I can’t remember which hurts most to betray

Take what’s left of me
There’s only so much a traitor can be
Please, lend me your strength
This is goodbye, lay my soul to rest

Bloodstained promise save me now
Just another path for me to fall down, down
I can’t be the person you deserve
I keep on fighting even though it hurts. Ooh

Your light, so divine
I can’t close my eyes

The ghost of who you thought I was
Lost itself free-falling under the sun
I wear too many names
I can’t remember which hurts most to betray

Take what’s left of me
There’s only so much a traitor can be
Please, lend me your strength
This is goodbye, lay my soul to rest
