Am I Just a ghost?

Words are like glass scraping across my lungs
I’d try to talk but I swallowed my tongue
Ya i would grow up but I think i'm too young
And maybe I’m smart but I’d rather be dumb
I might go to heaven but that's not where I’m from
I sold my soul to the demons that offered me freedom
And you know what they actually gave me some...
But i think I sorta liked the cage they put me in
At least then i knew where I fit in,
Cause i'm sorta lost again
Im looking for someone, dont know where to begin
Cause there's a sea of faces, but i don't feel any hearts
And I’ve looked in all sorts of places,
Only to find a bunch of broken parts.
Your looking right past me
Tell me how come you don't see me
No your staring right through me
Its like you never knew me
Am i really that empty
Am i just a ghost? Just a spirit?
Im choking on pain can't you hear it?
My hands aren’t tied but they might as well be
Becuase i conform to the rules of normalcy
Can't remember the last time i didn't live life for somebody that wasn't me
Nah i don't know why I hide my crazy
When I should be fighting for the right to insanity.
I've become just another fake smile
And i tried to live like this, i've done it for a while
I put on a good show, accepted every low blow
Until i faded from view
Now I’m invisible and i’m looking for truth
Why the hell am i living my life based on you?
Your looking right past me
Tell me how come you don't see me
No your staring right through me
Its like you never knew me
Am i really that empty
Am i just a ghost? Just a spirit?
Im choking on pain can't you hear it
Cause now I’m so lost and I’m screaming at you
But you turn a blind eye to my holocaust, as if I’m fucking see through
Sad thing is , is that you always knew!
You knew i needed outta my head, you knew that my prayer every night was that somehow i'd be dead
And you knew that i needed you but you just walked away
How could you leave me when you promised you’d stay?
Don't try to come back, cause now it's too late
I'm just a ghost now, I guess it's my fate
I mean you never saw the real me anyway
Funny how you only see me now that i've gone away
Nah im not mad, no its okay
I always knew I’d get you to see me someday...
I just wished it hadn't been this way.
