Ghosts

They are the past reincarnated, emotions never faded Ideas of fear Awakening Dispersing Floating Dead But Very much alive Skeletons in the closet Past, present, future combine Along with fiery talks Of black and white A shadow sneaks by Disguised as a guide Sings like a truthful harp But madness inside Let the dead bury the dead But old graves opened up Blue vs. red Truth skewed upside down A lie becomes reality Reality a lie Arms against another Brother against brother Unless the sun goes up Ghosts continue to haunt The world Left in the dark, for They are the past reincarnated, emotions never faded Ideas of fear Awakening Dispersing Floating Dead But Very much alive They use to be beings like you and I Only brought back by the shadow That lurked in the dark Disguised as a friend But a foe inside Manipulating Both you and I into Blue vs. red Black and white A lie becomes reality Truth skewed upside down Arms against another Reality a lie Brother against brother Until all is dark Unless we let the dead bury the dead And let the sun rise Ghosts will continue to haunt Our peace of mind
