Ghost, dear
Come to haunt me...

The night bathes the forest in red
And the leaves gnaw at tired old bones...

I started my destruction
So early and so well...

Leaves flicker bright, dark
Wind whisks sparking sunlight through...

I slip out of myself
Each time I drop into the screen...

We left the earth in darkness
To explore the velvet sea...

You're a need, not a want, in their mind
And they don't care what evil they find...

How many times
Must I crack myself apart...

I made a star for you
And I set it in the sky...

I think I'd rather be liked than known
And I know myself so much less than I should...

Perhaps in another lifetime I'd let myself be held
While tears shine like starlight on the tabletop...

Winter's fingers shine with blood
The droplets frozen hard...
