Ghosts

Ghosts

By Alby Published 6 years ago 1 min read

No, I’m not scared of anything,

But now I’m just terrified.

Down that dark boulevard,

Is where your ghosts and my demons collide.

I still look for your face in every damn crowd,

It’s getting harder but I won’t make a sound.

You tamed all my demons, then set them all free,

No I do not blame you but now it’s just hard to believe.

Cause I begged and I prayed, took the deepest dive,

Had to search for the soul to bring back to life.

But nothing can bring these ghosts back from the dead,

Buried alive 'cause they bled and they bled.

Hurt from the inside, fucked in the head,

These ghosts left me hanging,

With a noose ‘round my neck.

So I cross my heart and I hope to die,

I couldn’t pull the trigger, even if I tried.

I cross my heart and I hope to die,

Now my eyes are stitched up and my hands are all tied.
