The Ghost in My Skull

I can't seem to find my way
I've wandered off stone
and stumbled through mud
the willows seem to weep
strictly for me
and the loss of this thing
that once was my identity
the rain's pouring but the skies are
the skies are...clear
I don't recognize this face anymore
it's melting, it's misplaced
I see memories of a past me
I can't seem to reconstruct
I just want to self-destruct
just let me fucking self-destruct

She was something out of a dream
But looks can be deceiving
I cannot accept this ruination
a debacle of self
incapable of perceiving reality
when the moment is presented
in all its human excitement
instead I fall
without clear eyes
without X-ray vision
the truth they hide within
the arctic heart
the frigid breast
I should've known
I should've fucking known
eggs have no business dancing with stones

This is all a work in progress
the bridge is still being built
one day I'll get to see the other side
I'm paving the mortar
and drawing up plans
I can lead a team
just not myself
will I jump or will I march?
my route is set
I just have to walk it
I ache to cross this path
and witness for myself...the greener grass
I am composed of more detritus
than working parts
but I'll see this to the end
because a conclusion
without resolution
is desecration
and I've endured enough
to prove that I deserve
(do I deserve?)
better closure
do I deserve?
I do deserve!
do I deserve...this?
