I tried so hard
Before I let go,
What point in saying now?
These you never saw
Till the end.
Now you are consumed
By that darkness in your mind,
Darkness that almost took me
Along for that red ride.
I should've seen before
That I cannot help,
That I can't be the one,
That I can't shoulder it all.
Somewhere along the way
If you take another soul,
Try not to destroy that too,
Because right now
You've chosen your own.
Ghost in my eye,
Ghost in my mind,
I know you'll haunt me
In the back of my mind.
But you won't rule me,
Not when I know I've tried,
Tried till I lost nearly all
And have now gone away.
I refuse to play your game.
