Ghosts
I stared into the mirror
And I refused to cry
In the dusty glass I know
A piece of me had died
It fell into my soul
But the soil made it rise
Still I can hear him speak to me
When the creatures come at night

There’s a ghost in my soul
A Haunted home inside my mind
There’s a wraith in my eyes
And when I cry it all goes black

Continued in my ways
I tried to Run from all my past
But I hear their chilling voices always
Come for the attack
I tried to shove them deeper down
But they kept on breaking out
I knew I couldn’t get away
Had to let them stick around

There’s a ghost in my soul
A Haunted home inside my mind
There’s a wraith in my eyes
And when I cry it all goes black
As I heard the voices
Although I couldn’t see
Was sick of all this fear
I cried out “ What do you want from me?”
They cackled and they laughed but one said
"We could never leave"
"Really we’re just parts of you"
"That you thought you couldn’t keep"
"When you held back tears"
"You thought that you were being brave"
"But truly you just murdered us"
"And locked us in this grave"

There’s a ghost in my soul
A Haunted home inside my mind
There’s a wraith in my eyes
And when I cry it all goes black
