Silhouette Ghosts

you won't notice me

when i stab you in the back

or when i sneak out through the back door

you will never see

i'm a shadow, a collection 

of the monsters in your closet

when you're most vulnerable, i'll be there

when you scream "god, i'm scared"

tell me what you fear the most, and i'll become it

tell me all your dreams, and i will crush them

say the words i crave to hear

tell me everything, your hopes and fears

tell me everything until i'm satisfied

painted canvases

of silhouette ghosts

are the things you desire most

well, there's nothing you can do to change it

the angels won't save you this time

tell me what you fear the most, and i'll become it

tell me all your dreams, and i will crush them

say the words i crave to hear

tell me everything, your hopes and fears

tell me everything until i'm in your mind

if i'm what you fear, and i'm what you want

doesn't that make me a contradiction?

if i'm what you desire, then i am in the fire

waiting for you to come back and burn with me
