Ghosted Dancers
Mental Illness Is Real
Ghosted Dancers Vocals and lyrics by Mary McGrath Copyright 5/7/18-All rights reserved
The voices call But I don’t answer In the evening squall There’s a ghosted dancer
I pretend That they’re not there But these illusions Give me a scare
I try so hard At being brave I act a card In my attempt to save
The demons from taking My dignity away Perhaps they’re making This darkness stay
I envy the crowds And people who Can act like nothing Is starting to brew
But in my corner Alone with my thoughts Can others see My stomach in knots
I know my fears Will go away With time the pain Won’t want to stay
Grief grabs a hold Of all of us at times And clenches tightly No reason or rhyme
I’ve been in rooms Like this before The ghosts will pass Once I open the door
Ooohhhhhhhhhh
But until that time I must endure The cloak of darkness That will pass I’m sure
Tomorrow knows A brighter day When the ghosts Will finally find their way
And visit places Far from my reach They’ve provided lessons Now that I can teach
A demon’s presence Doesn’t have to win With time dark passages Grow thin and dim
They have no power To take hold of you They’re but an illusion Not a vision that’s true
Know that their presence Is really not there Just an apparition Designed to scare
