The words that I knew to be true
Once said from me to you
Echo throughout this hollow room
The life that I once knew
Ended in the fire that purified you
And left me to linger in this hollow room
Now a memory of who I used to be
And now a ghost
Still haunted by every lie
And now a memory of what once stood before me
And now a ghost
Now so hollow and lost in the shadows
Now just a ghost
In the in between for eternity
Every thought fades away from
Every word is a whisper that cannot be heard
I will fade to darkness
I will stay where I am
With no light in my hand
I will stay in darkness
I don’t even recognize myself
I don’t even know who I am
Can I be free from this hell?
Or will I become like the wind
Transparent and void
Will I hear my name again?
I don’t think so
For now just a ghost
Lost in the shadows
For eternity
I’m only a memory
