Midnight Ghost

You got caught disappearing through the walls
An apparition seen before
Assimilate, supplicate, dominate
Stuck in this pattern since you were young
I offer up a sacrificial offering
I offer you my worst

Drink throughout the day, I suffer through the night
Caught up in a tragic mess of your life
And I'm not out of the woods
Not out of it, you won't last so long
Stranded on a ship all alone
A sad song you've sung before
But the chorus just don't hit no more

Traumatized to a former life
Mortalized so you don't get low
But a deep depression taught a deeper lesson
How to reap what the fuck you sow
When I get you on that midnight ghost

Your self-destruction is habitual
Slumming up in your own truth
This one a long time, my partner in crime
A road trip through the hellscape inside your mind
That I escaped to make this final missive
I'll jump, but you jump first

Prowl like a rat, living in the gut
Come out at night to drink in the bloodlust
Still I'm not out of the woods
Not out of it, where do you get off?
Telling me what the fuck I know
You're no longer hypnotized
Somewhere along the line, you lost control

Traumatized to a former life
Stay high so you don't get low
But a deep depression taught a deeper lesson
How to reap what the fuck you sow
When you watch the world through evil eyes
Cross your heart and hope to die
From jumping on a landmine
Guided by a midnight ghost

An apparition's son, you live to make dust
Like all the corpse, bleed until it's dry
Still I'm not out of the woods
Not out of it, how'd you last so long?
Creeping out everyone you know
Flip on the dance floor light
To the same sad beat you walk alone

Traumatized to a former life
Stay high to survive the lows
But a deep depression taught a deeper lesson
Time to reap what the fuck you sow
While you stalk my world with evil eyes
Look back and laugh 'cause I survived
By crossing the power line
Energized by the midnight ghost
