Shooting ghosts

For the thrill of the moment
Or the time of your life
The darker side of you you've shown it
Stabbing away at nothing with a knife

I know I'm insane
But I can't help but think this blood runs in their veins
I swear I looked it in the eye
As I ripped it's heart out and watched it die

Wishes are nothing more than what we make them
Lock them up in a box and leave it at the lakes end
Forget about the past it's done
They all left me and killed the fun

I could talk to them in my sleep
I could feel them getting weak
I might have killed them just by chance
Just maybe impaled your words with a liars lance

Leave good enough alone
And drop the knife and hang up the phone
We don't need another body going to hell
For another restless soul ringing a bell

Pale and white and transparent fright
I don't bite but I've got you in my sights
I pull it but you don't fall
You just reach out and rip out my soul, you've begun to maul

Hack at my hapiness like it were just a useless weed
Burn it up as if it's a moronic effort nobody needs
I'd love to show you what exactly I mean
But your minds eye isn't that keen

I never did say I'd sit here forever
And watch all our ties sever
But it's your turn to die
And I know you know that I have it loaded and I'm willing to try

You lied to me the whole time
Thinking I'd sit here and hear you whine
All the things you would tell me
Now I'm fear free

I will shoot them all down, every one
Jet black skies turned this town upside down, your smirk just a frown and I just reloaded the gun
Too much too late to back down now
Too fast too careless to let you allow

I don't remember why you stood there
You maybe a ghost, but you're not thin as air
Life might be a dream
But once that bullet hit you, you were lying in your own crimson stream
