A Ghost in the Walls

When the fear of death is near, I almost felt your essence disappear
Choosing a destination, comes with a separate vision
Such as the weight of this world
Lay in your hospital bed
Hands gripped and stomachs turned, Await the hollow shell

Stay
Gravitate towards me, lonely spirit
Stripped her from the earth
Suffer, I can't face the reality, my purpose of living would cease to exist

Medicine coursing through your veins, sunken eyes haunt my inner words
It's your oasis
Dig, you are within my deepest core

Are you falling from me, slipping into the ether
I can do better, is the blood on my hands
Come back to me

Forgive her, bringer of pain
Wash away her disease
Please take me, a simple trade for the life of another
What's a father without his daughter

Inner demons play an insufferable game
Wretched one, hear my plea
My folded hands should suffice, now leave her be
Is this for my foolishness? Doctor help her, she's in too deep

Darkness consumes me

Lifeless and abandoned, vessel takes its shape
Just three years old, hold on
Six feet deep, doesn't seem real to me
Give her the chance to grow

Forgive her, bringer of pain
Wash away her disease
Please take me, a simple trade for the life of another
What's a father without his daughter

As her chest deflates, a subtle sign of defeat
As it exits her lungs, from despair comes disbelief
I gave my all to you, in hopes that you'd remember me soon
Fate ignites my will in its own design

Bringer of pain, forgive me
