To Kill A Monster - Ghost

I am a ghost searching for my killer
Overcome with jealousy
Of all the people walking by
Oblivious they're alive
An artist painting with
Memories
That I can't remember
My canvas bleeds empty
I am a poet out of ink
Writing with the blood
Of all those who came before me
Who died when they grew up

I don't wanna die knowing I
Lived for nothing
I wanna die knowing I'm
Dying for something
I don't wanna die without
Leaving something, meaningfully
Beautiful behind

I am a god nobody worships
Holding out for self worth
To validate what I create
Of a world that never worked
An arsonist bored with the flames
Of the fires they start
But never finish
Because they lack the heart

I don't wanna die knowing I
Lived for nothing
I wanna die knowing I'm
Dying for something
I don't wanna die without
Leaving something, meaningfully
Beautiful behind

I am a broken ship afraid to sink
Alone and lost at sea
But I refuse to believe I'll never feel that
Wind on my sails again
I've been drowning, I've been drowning
Searching for myself
I've been drowning, I've been drowning
Searching for myself

The waves are crashing
My boards are breaking
I'm slowly sinking
Alone at sea
Searching for myself
I've been drowning
