A Walking Ghost
Someone save me
from the beast within
he tears at my lungs
and claws at my skin
Falling apart
from the inside out
and no one will know it
Till my body is found
Just a walking ghost
among the crowd
just a whisper in your ear
"I finally fell down"
Scream it out
claw at yourself
you can't be held down
by your tattered heart now
I'll be your inspiration
motivation to tread on
Always a part of you
Music is the only truth
So many people pass me by
they don't see what I hide inside
I won't admit it to anyone
but sometimes I wish
someone would see
the pain taking control of me
So close to letting it have control
fighting only makes it worse
who is he really, all alone
beaten down by something inside
but no one sees the pieces I hide
