The Ghost of Myself - Fractal Cypher

The path is dark, the light is out

The curtain is down on my life

This is my final bow

This is the final act

The play is over and everyone in the crowd is gone

As quiet as I am

I could almost be the ghost of myself

To leave behind the ones who love me

Is something that I cannot stand

I wish to live

To live and see

The things that are yet to be seen

Rise up and let it shine

Because there is no tomorrow

With open heart and eyes ablaze

I gaze into the eyes of death

As quiet as I am

I could be the ghost of myself

Hidden somewhere within my mind

Into my dreamer’s hideaway

Little hideaways for our lonely soul

With open heart and eyes ablaze

I gaze into the eyes of death

As quiet as I am

The beautiful that lies within

And the innocence of a child

Imagination that goes beyond mortal things

Those are the memories that you will keep of me

The love of a father

I give you the ghost of myself

A sacrifice for all

I give you the ghost of myself

With open heart and eyes ablaze

I gaze into the eyes of death

As quiet as I am

I could be the ghost of myself

Hidden somewhere within my mind

Into my dreamer’s hideaway

Little hideaways for our lonely soul

With open heart and eyes ablaze

I gaze into the eyes of death

As quiet as I am

As quiet as they are

For you I have

And for you I will

From life to death

My spirit will remain

I have written the story of my life

With the things I’ve done

Just remember my song…

Turn the page, burn the book and let it die

Memories they will finally collapse

Live your life

As your own

No rules to restrain the melodies of life
