Ghost in the home
ghost in the Home
Can you see yourself, Breaking at every corner through your bones?
Have you heard? The way you talk to me, you should have known.
That I would find a way to own my own.
There's a Ghost in the home.
silent as the words you broke.
Telling me I'm but a ghost. But I know now I'm home.
I needed to know where you go, So I could signal out to the voice I knew.
No where did you go. I cant find a reason to wanna know.
Now I Have to go. Leaving you in sticks and stones.
How did you know. That My structure would crumble down.
Did you know, That I no longer bend or break.
You can have all I know. You can have my heart.
but you cant have me. Not till I depart.
And even then all of me is mine.
You had a chance. You made a tidal wave.
That swallowed everything. I will never be satisfied.
And when I finally cull the hands of time.
It will be justified. But maybe not in your eyes.
Look into my eyes, say it again. Go on. the pain is a consequence.
You hung a rope but Ill never put my head through.
With Serrated knives Ill turn those tables.
I'm sick of it invading my mind.
I just wanna let go of your secrets I could not tell.
Like a siren, you wouldn't let me be me. Intoxicating Plagiarism of my life and who I am.
YOU NEEDED ME BUT I NEVER REALLY NEEDED YOU!!
So I often wonder how much longer it will be till you slip and fall.
I hope that cliff isn't edging you on. I wont be there to catch you when you jump.
Ill be looking down. And i know with the last breath you will put a bit more sword in my heart.
You have no body to talk to no body to call.
But you want so much more.
but you should know that today isn't the day ill let you dig my grave.
Ive turned away. I am in your grey!
