GHOST

1 am the ghost of your journey, 

Failures of your past, 

I am a shadow of you,
Made of cockroaches of the night ,

I am a video on silence,
Of the uglies in your closet.

Can one run away from his bowels?

Today was the tomorrow that has come 

Embrace me and in silence
Follow your light 
For a smooth journey 
To tomorrow
