The Whispers of the Ghosts

There's nothing to do when the emptiness starts So far away from a home that does not exist And once hopeful dreams that are now haunted With visions of a cigarette so often lit As night turns to day through rattling shutters A bit of soul flies away in the darkness at a time So there must come a time when all the little pieces Are enough to reassembled outside A broken soul is never allowed to be alone Ever tempted by the whispers of the ghosts By memories lost, never to be forgotten By a past life with those he loved most Ever tempted by the whispers of the ghosts A jester opens the next of too many doors Never wanting the thing that lays inside For the peak always gives way to another valley So why do anything but hide A thief only takes what he knows has value In the end, it doesn't matter if it's pretty Maybe the thief feels the same way that we do If he does, I feel nothing but pity A broken soul is never allowed to be alone Ever tempted by the whispers of the ghosts By memories lost but never to be forgotten By a past life with those he loved the most Ever tempted by the whispers of the ghosts Feeling the world you know spin out of control But you couldn't hold it still, even if you tried And you say that you hold me if I start to lose But you know that's just a lie Why would you ever think you could feel me How could you ever even know who I am There exists a person in me that you can't see The one you know is a sham A broken soul is never allowed to be alone Ever tempted by the whispers of the ghosts By memories lost, never to be forgotten By a past life with those he loved most Ever tempted by the whispers of the ghosts Sitting inside the holy room where no one ever comes He chuckles emptyingly to himself again A life of disappointment ignored for a record Once listened to with a friend There's nothing to do when the emptiness starts So far away from a home that does not exist Once hopeful dreams are now haunted With visions of a cigarette so often lit A broken soul is never allowed to be alone Ever tempted by the whispers of the ghosts By memories lost, never to be forgotten By a past life with those he loved most Ever tempted by the whispers of the ghosts
