The Ghost of a Presence Past
What's behind the door?
It has a window
I still can't see through it
Too scared of the time that goes
I see a party
Of people that claimed they care
I see him working to death
Along with his parents glares
I see as if I'm nothing
I see my father as I'm failing
So, I wiggled the doorknob
Hoping to find some kind of railing
It still won't open
And now I see the people that ruined me
Those endless angry moments
Everything I've dreaded to be
Those relationship mistakes are screaming
I should've just said no
I try to cover my ears
Admitting I should've taken things slow
I see my friend dead
It could've been on purpose
I was the only one there
However, still felt worthless
I start banging on the door
All of this is ripping me apart
Everything at once getting closer
My mind too blank for a new start
So, I start kicking
Begging for someone to open up
Because the ghosts of my past are running towards me
Thinking I've never had enough...
I finally bust through the door
And all I see are mirrors like I'm cloned
I then realize that I'm by myself
But i am not alone
It has a window
I still can't see through it
Too scared of the time that goes
I see a party
Of people that claimed they care
I see him working to death
Along with his parents glares
I see as if I'm nothing
I see my father as I'm failing
So, I wiggled the doorknob
Hoping to find some kind of railing
It still won't open
And now I see the people that ruined me
Those endless angry moments
Everything I've dreaded to be
Those relationship mistakes are screaming
I should've just said no
I try to cover my ears
Admitting I should've taken things slow
I see my friend dead
It could've been on purpose
I was the only one there
However, still felt worthless
I start banging on the door
All of this is ripping me apart
Everything at once getting closer
My mind too blank for a new start
So, I start kicking
Begging for someone to open up
Because the ghosts of my past are running towards me
Thinking I've never had enough...
I finally bust through the door
And all I see are mirrors like I'm cloned
I then realize that I'm by myself
But i am not alone
