Give up the ghost

Hour by hour/Minute by minute. Let time suck away. Suck. Suck. Slurp. Pull from within deep inside. Don't let go and don't give up. Hold on for eternity. Force of Life.

Hello? Is there anyone out there?


I'm trapped.


This is my winterless wonderland. It's cold out here. Let me come back. Trapped. Is it dark out there? Is it warm in there? Is there room for me?

Questions unanswered and time forgot. Soul ripping me apart. See my eyes? Window to my soul? You see what?
Mirror Mirror on the wall...

Escaping. Breaking free. Keep it from me, I have no need for it here. Lock it up safe and throw away the key.

Let me in. Please...

I can't hide it no more. Can't keep it inside. It's breaking out; tearing my skin apart.

Please...

It hurts. It's cold. It's sacred but worthless. Empty and stark.

I'll be giving up the ghost. The ghost inside me. It's angry and dark and...

Help!

I can't give up my ghost it's what made me. Where will I go, who will I be?

Empty and cold. It's gone from me. The shutters are drawn to the chasm within.

Gave up My ghost and You stole it from me.
