Lost Spirit
I am a ghost in my own life
The stranger still lives within
Binding the crippled wings
Holding the blackness to the light
Where nothing can escape
Years of memory in crumbling buildings
Sidewalks broken by gnarled tree roots
Deformed branches of family
With the wicked heart of lies
I will fade in smoke and mist
Leaving nothing but destruction
Taught to me from the beginning
As it was in the beginning
It will be through to my end
Nothing given always fought for
By a desperate night thief
Stealing each breath from my broken body
Leaving nothing
Not even shattered soul
No wings to fly
Grounded
A lost spirit

The stranger still lives within
Binding the crippled wings
Holding the blackness to the light
Where nothing can escape
Years of memory in crumbling buildings
Sidewalks broken by gnarled tree roots
Deformed branches of family
With the wicked heart of lies
I will fade in smoke and mist
Leaving nothing but destruction
Taught to me from the beginning
As it was in the beginning
It will be through to my end
Nothing given always fought for
By a desperate night thief
Stealing each breath from my broken body
Leaving nothing
Not even shattered soul
No wings to fly
Grounded
A lost spirit
