The Phantom of the Past
Silent casket
Letters fill up the basket
Lay out the fallen prophecies
Of all the memories I used to believe
Trembling fingers
Outstretched to linger
For the love who walked out the door
Pain flows through my veins
Concealed all in one place
In my heart you’ll forever stay
Encrypted memories
Trespass the territory
Of everything I used to believe
I give your ghost my plea
I hope with all my might
That it will leave
Tremble within
These scars embody my skin
All I feel is disdain
For the promises you left in vain
