Ghost

The hands of the clock 
Walk in circles 
Life stands still 
Have you ever felt so hollow, so empty 
Living against your will 
Time was never something 
I imagined I'd see 
Now I watch it every day 
Slip away from me 
There is a ghost  
Within my mind 
And shadows live
In the corners of my eyes

Tell me of your first memory
Does it make you happy or bring agony 
I did what I could to forget what I can 
Now the problem is I don't know who I am 
Sickness spreads 
I want more 
Precious poison 
I adore 
Erase me 
Incomplete 

My eyes
Rolling over white 
I think I've been dead
My entire life 
Once 
I waited for the end 
Now I want 
To begin again 

From darkness 
Beauty grows 
Dying roses
Painted gold 
Warm words from cold souls 
Reaching for hands you will never hold
