Ghost Within

Take a last drag from your sanity let the smoke suffocate you
death's last wish is lingering on your doorstep after midnight
push this knife into my blue veins ever harder watch it turn scarlet
hear the scratch of the pen saying your name over and over in ink
stab this throbbing life through the center cry as it begins to shrivel
=---=
Your soul is lingering on the hope that this will become a salvation
lean on your faith for we are all lost travelers searching in the dark
take my hand lead me towards the end of this forsaken tunnel
scarlet and water mix as lightning strikes the same place twice
breath in your last nightmare and rise to the surface of the deep
=---=
Take a last drag from your pain let the wind blow you far away
wishes wait to become truth as this evening creeps to an end
we all need someone to carry us through the stormy weather
when your tears become the only emotion pull me ever closer
banish the shadows to the north and set my crying soul free
