Analysis of Ghost
A yoni of stars
We emerge
Born from wisdom
Take me to the shadow kingdom
A concept
A vague belief
And a prophecy
United to mean something
How promising?
The screen goes black
You’ve been indicted
Nothingness voids the brain
But it wasn’t invited
The places you’ve been
The things that you’ve seen
The moon and the sun
& the space in between
You’ll never wake up
But it’s only a dream
