The Blinding Light

In my youth the ghost stepped through me, and life was never quite the same

A new dark truth, a cursed recluse, left choking on the bitter shame

I force it down, down, down to the bottom of my soul but I still can't hide

Superstition takes control and leaves me numb and paralyzed

And now I realize....

Something hallowed about this blackened beckoning

Lures me in and then devours me

This ghost erodes what i once called my life

Smell the smoke as I burn in the blinding light

Hexed and blind in the dusk of life, the shadows stretching over me

The mirror stares back, eyes stained black, the sun my mortal enemy

Screaming "why, why, why" the ghost she never seems to say

Paranoia burned my soul and now there's nothing left to take

There's nothing left to take

Something hallowed about this blackened beckoning

Lures me in and then devours me

This ghost erodes what i once called my life

Smell the smoke as I burn in the blinding light

Burn me alive in the blinding light
