Ghostface

I stand alone in a cave at the center of lore And I wanted you all here to see Clues, guides, and maps have me where no one has been before The reasons for this trial This quest is cloaked in mystery But here I stand my efforts in hand where yours used to be Why do I feel I've been here before? My footprints revealed in the trail Past pathways I have trodden These memories a ghost of this place I can't see a thing Save the flickering shapes on the walls of the cave The only allegory I'll ever need They're floating silently disrupting light Their benevolence illuminates the pathways to insight The despair of this place Ghostface, we are Antithesis I will not see you again Nor is it my wish to share in the same space You looked so good in blue Now my least favorite of hues I was never looking to see I was always looking for you And it leaves be blind in the dark Seemingly surrounded by nothing There is a small spot in the back of my brain Where truth and reality still have domain And love, and hope, and faith remain The necessary components I need not explain It is never enough Each step is a mistake My fate it seems is stumbling Pitfalls, the paths pass will surely sting We're to suffer with a higher pain That elusive light you seek Shining on forever to end the blindness For treasures always sought, and the emptiness its brought They linger unforgotten And then lead to my goal without fail
