The Ghost of Me

I see her shadow in the pale moonlight A fragile figure lost in the night The girl I was now slipping away a fading Echo a voice gone astray Her laughter's a whisper her dreams are torn A hollow shell where hope was born She walks beside me but she's not whole a Ghost of me a fractured soul I'm the ghost of me lost in the haze a fading Figure in endless gray The life I knew is out of reach a haunting cry I cannot teach I'm the host of me a hollow sound searching For the light but I'm still bound Each step I take feels colder still a shadowed path A frozen will I wear the scars of battles past a silent witness to The pain that lasts They say to heal to let it go but how can I When I don't know? The girl I was is lost it seems a fleeting ghost In broken dreams I'm the ghost of me lost in the haze a fading Figure in endless gray The life I knew is out of reach a haunting cry I cannot teach I'm the ghost of me a hollow sound searching For the light but I'm still bound Through shattered glass I see her stare a Fragile face a silent prayer She reaches out but I can't respond trapped In a world I don't belong (I don't belong) I'm the ghost of me a hollow sound reflections Echos my refrain But through the dark a spark ignites a quiet Call to reclaim my light I'm the ghost of me but I will fight through Endless gray to find the light The life I knew may be long gone but from these Shadows I'll move on I'm the ghost of me but I'll break free and find The strength to reclaim me The ghost of me will fade in time a distant Memory no longer mine Through the darkness I'll find my flame and Rise again to reclaim my life I don't belong; I reclaim my name
