The Ghost
Cold freezing waters
Red burning skies
My faith - started to falter
It has been so for a while
Between the hot and cold
Between the red and blue
Within the thin line unfolds
My unlived life, my only truth
It`s endless, sometimes looks broken
Would I fall again?
It`s bound by all those things unspoken
It looks fragile, and tight and tense
Balancing on this thin line
A thread so terribly unstable
I have the hope, in my breath entwined
The lack of it me would disable
A shadow out there
Among a rain of bombs and traps
You told me so that I would care
And hope there would be no mishaps
I do indeed cause I am married
To the shadow so invisible to me
There`s a chance for this shadow to be buried
By the distance, by the sand, by me
A ghost I have invented
To keep me company on my days grey
I know that it was not intended
For my delusions at some point I`ll have to pay
And I am torn apart
By inexistent problem
I wish to find it in my heart
My mind has has been kidnapped by goblins
Or maybe those sorcerers and witches
Cast a spell on me, despite my protests
I`ve been so thoroughly bewitched
My appeals have gone unnoticed
I am to walk along the line
Connecting me with you
The shadow I will never find
The shadow in my mind to me was always true
The line, the thread is thin
I am too heavy
My endless, hopeless dreams
They weigh so much, much more than ever
Where I`m going I have no idea
They day is grey despite the colours
The day is hopeless, my endless fears
Invoke and make me feel my powers
And I keep walking
In between the hot and cold
This rain I wish in it that I was soaking
Instead of you - my shadow, ghost, so bold
For you I`d take a bullet
From either hot or cold
My voices tell me that I shouldn't
Too late, I`m already enrolled
The Universe is making fun of me
As if there`s nothing left for it to do
It pushes me from side to side, it wouldn't let me be
It must be fun, but it is cruel
The many ghosts that I have had
So many through the years
They show up on both sides, they are all dead
Standing on the tiny line I freeze
My current ghost is worst of all
It is here to derail me
It is here to make me fall
I`d walk through you too, you`ll see
I am not afraid anymore
Of your cunning words, enticement
Wherever it is, I will get through to the shore
I know you`re something else although as ghost disguising
