Ghost of Nothing

Treading waters poisoned by timeless intoxicants
 Always knowing that a darkness will find us
 Scaling walls of imagined boundaries
 We are the reapers of shame, the successors of pain
 I could follow you down
 To the bottom of your solemn state
 Straining to pull you out
 Of the trenches that your mind creates
 Hesitation sits in hindsight of the blind man
 Cut me open
 Won't you follow tonight, just breathe in slowly
 I don't wanna see you suffer forever
 You are seemingly safe and sound
 But you carry such a heavy weight
 A spirit that slowly drowns
 But the body doesn't translate
 Bolstering the need to feel accomplished
 Overshadowed by decisions of finite progress
 A moment to take my time
 To let the noise subside
 Maybe I can finally breathe if I take a step outside myself
 Maybe I can finally breathe easy
 Cut me a box to size, yeah
 Won't you follow tonight, just breathe in slowly
 I don't wanna see you suffer forever, forever
 Plagued by thoughts of self-defeat
 Ghost of nothing
 A ghost of a nothing
 An anchor for all suffering
 Won't you follow tonight
 I don't wanna see you suffer
 Won't you follow tonight, just breathe in slowly
 I don't wanna see you suffer forever
 Won't you follow tonight, just breathe in slowly
 I don't wanna see you suffer forever
 I don't wanna see you
 A ghost of a nothing
 An anchor for all suffering
