Ghosts of Me

Don't wake this child of lies
He sleeps here in me
Now I'm just his dream

He sees things with my eyes
Things he knows that can't be
Floating in my mindstream

He's been betrayed by truth
Led astray by answers
Bruised by all that's real

So sleep my sorrowed youth
While I stand guard here
Afraid you'll never heal

I wouldn't mind if he was lost
He wouldn't mind if I was free
I wouldn't mind to take the cost
Strike me blind and leave me be
You are me

I wouldn't mind if he was lost
He wouldn't mind if I was free
I wouldn't mind to take the cost
Strike me blind and leave me be
You are me

Don't wake this child of lies
He sleeps here in me
Now I'm just his dream
