I never do the right thing, and it hurts
I have a tendency to make everything worse
Though I know promises matter more than feelings,
I still kill all my friends and watch them bleeding out
I'm selfish, but I know my role
I am a checkpoint for wandering souls
Don't get comfortable
This is not your home
But I'll help you find the way to go
Leading you like a guiding light
I'll steal some of the darkness within your mind
Jagged pieces, I'll make them mine
Oh, anything to lighten the weight of time
Helper, healer, director of dreams
Don't know why, but detours always seem to run by me
Take whatever you need
I'll play the host
Ephemeral
I don't know when to let go of anything
And upon being stung, I will sting
I can't relax when I'm set to attack
I keep writing lines as if you're singing them back
I wish they'd hate me, the ones that I've lead
Or at least just imagine me dead
Cause I can't survive being anyone's muse
I never bounced back from all the abuse
But I'll keep
Leading you like a guiding light
I'll steal some of the darkness within your mind
Jagged pieces, I'll make them mine
Oh, anything to lighten the weight of time
Helper, healer, director of dreams
Don't know why, but detours always seem to run by me
Take whatever you need
I'll play the host
Take whatever you need
I'll play the host
Take whatever you need
I'll be your ghost
Ephemeral
