Ghost in the Woods - Pythia

I thought I saw the whole world

Smoldering in your eyes

But from this love came a curse

That befell and left me blind

Oh, it stole my fire

So now it has come to this

My hopes are turning to ash

Destroying all I held dear

Forever holding me back

Taking all I had

I hoped my gentle heart would save me

From this ever-winding road

But now I’m a ghost in the woods

Lost in a — which way to turn?

I stand and scan the skies

Hoping for an answer in the stars

Where has my freedom gone?

Where have all the birds flown?

I wanna hate you away

To get you out of my mind

But I see you everywhere

Your face carved from the moonlight

Never left behind

Your voice whispers in the wind

A festering memory, long dead

Like a foul

Cursed with forbidden knowledge

Born from the snow and starlight

Now cast to dust and decay

Your greatest weapon is truth

You wield it with bitterness

You stand in front of me now

Your face a desolate grey

I pray that I’ll have the strength

To turn my face away

These empty words from your lips

Like smoke that stifles my breath

The very strands of my life

Entwined in your fingertips

I see the spark of our past

But I lament what you’ve become
