The Ghost of You

Hollow eyes haunt me
Voice poisons my dreams
No easy night’s sleep
You’re all around me
And so I tell myself
You’re a killer
You’re a beast
A perfect shell
That’s empty underneath
I know I hate you
I know you’re cruel
A monster that was made
And taught to rule
But tell me the truth
Are you haunted too
By the ghost of you
I know who I’ve been
Worse sins I did commit
I give myself to you
Only to save him
Or so I tell myself
You’re a killer
You’re a beast
A perfect shell
That’s empty underneath
I know I hate you
I know you’re cruel
A monster that was made
And taught to rule
But tell me the truth
Are you haunted too
By the ghost of you
Love is not obsession
Protection not control
I hate this world that broke you
But I cannot make you whole
Too many have died
Your letter on my neck
There’s a monster in me too
But that doesn’t mean I can forget
You’re a killer
You’re a beast
The perfect shell
That’s empty underneath
I know I hate you
I know you’re cruel
A monster that was made
And taught to rule
But tell me the truth
Are you haunted too
Oh, tell me the truth
Are you haunted too
By the ghost of you
By the ghost of you
The ghost of you
