I see the ghost
Of who I once was
And the ghost
Of who I hoped to be
I awaken
To the phantom
That is who I have become
I awaken
To the phantom
That is who I have become
From the chaos, rise
Rebuild on patterns scattered
Within the broken
Before the peaks
The hills
Before the hills
The valley
Before the valley
I must leave
This place of numbing
Before I die
Still…
That is enough
To stave the pain
In this hollow I’ve carved out
From tendrils of deepest sorrow
I find resolve to carry on
Amber glow
Inner light
So long as I hold the one
Let the other be revealed
Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your father’s deeds
And why you’d need to set me free
I would not listen, I did not know how
Perhaps I’ll listen now
And I in the storm
Enthralled by the beauty of
Violent nature
Moved to pondering
The nature of violence
Buffeting within
I remind myself
The world of distress and fear
Is also a creation of mine
The cloak only gives it power
The palace of true warmth
Is the light of my own heart
Which cannot be sundered
