The Blinding Light In my youth the ghost stepped through me, and life was never quite the same A new dark truth, a cursed recluse, left choking on the bitter shame I force it down, down, down to the bottom of my soul but I still can't hide Superstition takes control and leaves me numb and paralyzed And now I realize.... Something hallowed about this blackened beckoning Lures me in and then devours me This ghost erodes what i once called my life Smell the smoke as I burn in the blinding light Hexed and blind in the dusk of life, the shadows stretching over me The mirror stares back, eyes stained black, the sun my mortal enemy Screaming "why, why, why" the ghost she never seems to say Paranoia burned my soul and now there's nothing left to take There's nothing left to take Something hallowed about this blackened beckoning Lures me in and then devours me This ghost erodes what i once called my life Smell the smoke as I burn in the blinding light Burn me alive in the blinding light
