Ghost Faced Vision

He gets up early
Just to stay out late
He gave up money
Just to keep the faith

He swears to god
For what it's worth
He keeps no lover
Just an empty hearth

Because he spends a lot of time reading signs
as he travels, through those empty spaces,
and he wants to redefine his craving mind
and the secrets, of those haunted faces
He won't justify their need to lie
as he serves them, without a basis

But he's grown wiser now, for that fact,
and he's not looking back

He runs on empty
Just to press his luck
He gets lost often
He feels safer stuck

Yes, he's fond of moving
Just for wind blown hair
He's done forgiving
He's nobody there

Because he spends a lot of time reading signs
as he travels, through those empty spaces,
and he wants to redefine his craving mind
and the secrets, of those haunted faces
He won't justify their need to lie
as he serves them, without a basis

But he's grown wiser now, for that fact,
and he's not looking back
But he's grown wiser now, for that fact,
and he's not looking back

Well they broke his ego
Just because they could
They sold their vision
Like they knew they would.

    It's so hard to find decent lyrics on this site. The crap that some people will pass off as songs is absolutely amazing. With that being said, I'm really glad I came across this. I think you may just have made my day.
    You have a nice solid rhyme scheme and rhythm that really fits the piece. You have a very natural flow to your work that I really like. I'm going to have to read more.
    I'd hate to be a line-copier, but I really liked "He gets lost often/He feels safer stuck". I know it makes me seem like any other emo, angsty teenager, but I couldn't help feeling something when I read that.

    You have some amazing talent. This is definitely one for the bookmark.

    I rather liked that as I can hear your Lou Reed tones cranking this out. It is very similar to where I am at at the moment so it strikes responsive chord after responsive chord.

    and he wants to redefine his craving mind

    you got that right, absolutely.

    Well done, would make a great song
