Ghosts

Lose myself while I'm lying in bed Thoughts swirl around, round in my head Feel myself drowning in the dark The difference 'tween then and now is so stark Tugging at my fears to make them real Would do anything, anything to feel I used to be so happy, I'm not anymore Floating in the ocean, away from the shore I drift into a distant darkness The ghosts in my head feel like some kind of sickness I let it overcome me, the past so clear and close They come again and again at me these ghosts What happened to my former self? So much has changed since I was twelve Joy is a shadow of former truth Lost with the fading of my youth The pain is real, it's all I can feel The demons inside, they start to reel I scream in agony But no one hears I drift into a distant darkness The ghosts in my head feel like some kind of sickness I let it overcome me, the past so clear and close They come again and again at me these ghosts Lost in the abyss of my mind (I drift into a distant darkness) The shadows consume me, leaving me blind I scream in agony, but no one hears (I drift into a distant darkness) My mind is a battlefield, consumed with my fears (I drift into a distant darkness)
