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
