Out of reach, out of sight
Lost any sign of light
Just like a phantom
Holding hearts for ransom
Disappear into the night
On the road, in flight
Never found a safe place
So, looked for more space
A spirit appearing in dreams
When nothing is what it seems
Faded into a mist
Someone no one will miss
The footsteps remain present
Along with a transparent essence
There's banging on the door
Footprints on the floor
But no sign of a face
It can never be traced
The wind can easily move me
Always remaining unseen
But I like the dark
Wild dreams, hidden sparks
Finding these wonderful things
When not chained to reality
Unhinged but completely free
When no one is calling me
Muffled voices not getting through
Now it's just me and you
An altered reflection
Recording life lessons
The cards have been dealt
As I mirror myself
Had to be gone to belong
Every other plot was wrong
The story didn't add up
It was incomplete, it wasn't enough
Only smiling through camera lenses
Time increases like expenses
Like a debt I owe
To people I don't know
That's why it's only my shadow
That's allowed to glow
Nothing left to hold
Swept away in the cold
Can't speak, can't leak
A truth that's so bleak
Was I ever there?
Did those voices care?
Or was everything
Something worth imagining
Just another tall tale
We all know well
But love to hear on repeat
Eyes widen as hearts beat
It is everyone's nightmare
When no one is there
But being completely alone
Help me find home
No pride to be boasted
Distance is when I'm closest
Had happiness, but someone stole it
So, I left the world ghosted
