GHOST Lyrics

"GHOST"

Will you cry for me?

For how many nights and for how many days?

I, the ghost in your life that never was there and yet a part of you, always.

My presence hollow, my face a mere mirage translucent and unrecognizable,

I exist as an unknown voice, my words weightless and unreliable.

The warmth from a tender embrace, an illusion, to you my touch a mystery,

The imaginary figure that doesn't exist, yet in my wake, there lies misery.

Will you cry for me? Now, with each passing season and as death draws nearer and nearer

I, the ghost that appears when you look in the mirror.

I am never with you and yet with you always,

You see me in your eyes, your nose and your ears,

I've given you nothing and I ask you now, give me all of you, all of your tears.

You will wallow in your sorrow and your tears will fill valleys and cover mountains,

All the emotions so well hidden, the love you chose to omit,

You will cry for me and you will hate yourself for it.

You will drown in agony, all the love I don't deserve you will submit.

No sympathy for the deadbeat Dad,

But a dead Dad does the trick.
