The Ghost I Used to Be

Strange shards
 All relics of the path
 That I have followed
 To dead ends
 Embed in wounds
 All doors into the past
 They've barred themselves
 But scars have failed
 Torn open far too soon
 ♪
 And with time
 The shards transform to keys
 Fit for lowest depths
 Unlocked truths to reveal
 Sharpened fine
 The keys all sink within
 My time has come
 Accepting fate
 Light disappears again
 ♪
 Fading eyes
 No paths I see now
 I become the ghost
 The ghost I used to be
 ♪
 I searched throughout the void
 (I chose this)
 For the scraps of life I have left behind
 Each one has left me knowing
 (I feel nothing)
 This path may never reach an end for me
 ♪
 And with a spectral breath
 I'm begging to be freed
 ♪
 This burden of regret
 Kindling to ignite
 And a necessary end
 To living in a lie
 ♪
 So when all fires burn cold
 Leave behind a glowing husk
 The ghost that I become again
 Glides back into the dusk
 Alone
