without a substance to rely on
i'm a ghost.

without a ***** to give my lust to,
i'm a ghost.

without a pride to give my bride to,
i'm a ghost.

whether holy or unsacred
if you take it all away
i'm just a ghost

if you simplify the problem
i'm a ghost.

if you look at me too closely
i'm a ghost

if you thought i was a human
you should know

i'm a ghost
i'm a ghost.

i'm a ghost.
messing around with this idea of bodilessness recently,
an ideological progression from my recent theme of centerlessness

do you HAVE a body? like, do you OWN it? okay, well prove it.

and you do, but the proof gets washed away and the cycle starts over again.

in Hebrew mythology, Satan (meaning "the enemy") does not have a body. so i think it's interesting, by saying "i don't have a body, really" it's like Satan speaking through me. except, God (El, the I am, the infinite, the Universe) manifests that. the two concepts clearly go hand in hand.

i just think it's really interesting that none of these ideas are really apart from modern science. in fact, they are rather harmonious with it.

am i trying to hard to make it fit? do you think the two concepts are harmonious or discordant? let me know in the comments.
