I am the ghost in this machine,<br /> I am the lord of this realm of dreams,<br /> In dreams we walk together,<br /> I am a man, skin burned black,<br /> I am the one that brings your sanity back,<br /> When you're gone all the way down,<br /> I am an Angel, a Demon,<br /> Lurking in the darkest corner of your mind,<br /> In dreams we walk together,<br /> I am the wolf named wild desire,<br /> A black angel cast into the fire,<br /> And your guide to paradise,<br /> I am the king sleeping inside your mind,<br /> Waiting for the new dawn to once again, arise,<br /> I am the ghost,<br /> I am the darkness,<br /> I am the fire inside your mind,<br /> In dreams we walk together,<br /> A memory of yore,<br /> I am the Past,<br /> I am the present,<br /> I am the future,<br /> Of a timeline that is torn,<br /> I am the heartstrings that you pull upon,<br /> The Life you thought you'd spent,<br /> I am everything you ever did,<br /> And everywhere you went,<br /> I am the ghost,<br /> I am the light,<br /> Burning brightly in the night,<br /> Showing you the way home,<br /> When bravado turns to fright,<br /> I am now,<br /> I am then,<br /> I am what will be,<br /> I am you,<br /> I am your friends,<br /> But most of all,<br /> I'm me<br /> I See the stories in your life,<br /> That made you what you are,<br /> No regrets or buts or maybes',<br /> No what ifs' for you,<br /> Everything you could have done,<br /> I have seen you do,<br /> I am eternal,<br /> I am immortal,<br /> I live through other peoples dreams,<br /> And now you ask "Who are you friend?"<br /> And my reply is simple,<br /> I am the ghost, true enough,<br /> But "I am" is all I say,<br /> Do not try to rationalize,<br /> The meaning of a dream,<br /> And break the magic held therein,<br /> And rip my world at the seams.
