Ephemeral Lyrics

I never do the right thing, and it hurts

I have a tendency to make everything worse

Though I know promises matter more than feelings,

I still kill all my friends and watch them bleeding out

I'm selfish, but I know my role

I am a checkpoint for wandering souls

Don't get comfortable

This is not your home

But I'll help you find the way to go

Leading you like a guiding light

I'll steal some of the darkness within your mind

Jagged pieces, I'll make them mine

Oh, anything to lighten the weight of time

Helper, healer, director of dreams

Don't know why, but detours always seem to run by me

Take whatever you need

I'll play the host

Ephemeral

I don't know when to let go of anything

And upon being stung, I will sting

I can't relax when I'm set to attack

I keep writing lines as if you're singing them back

I wish they'd hate me, the ones that I've lead

Or at least just imagine me dead

Cause I can't survive being anyone's muse

I never bounced back from all the abuse

But I'll keep

Leading you like a guiding light

I'll steal some of the darkness within your mind

Jagged pieces, I'll make them mine

Oh, anything to lighten the weight of time

Helper, healer, director of dreams

Don't know why, but detours always seem to run by me

Take whatever you need

I'll play the host

Take whatever you need

I'll play the host

Take whatever you need

I'll be your ghost

Ephemeral
