I've been seeing this ghost.

She sees all of my mistakes,

and she conquers the fears I hold on to.

And when I feel her close,

regrets are the only thing she lets me hear.

She began to haunt every inch of my dreams,

And leaves me reeling.

She enjoys nothing more.

Her every word dripping Elegance.

Every line she feeds me

keeps me down and kneeling

and every time she leaves me,

I lose all direction.

If she keeps up like this

I'll be lost for good.

And this intoxication

is something I've accepted.

This subtle vocation

I've been playing at

Is what fills my mind,

and controls my time.

She pushes this clock

ticking faster and faster,

getting louder

Like the swing of a pendulum.

With every breath she takes

my confidence seems to wane

And like every weak willed criminal

I'm only seconds away from my confession.
