.:: the life of me and all my ghosts

Is this the thing I value most
The life of me and all my ghosts?
And if my answer will be "yes"
How will I fight this ugly mess?

Fight, ah yes, the word indeed
Without it you cannot succeed
At least that's what they always say
Must it all start from the word "they"?

The answer could again be "yes"
Then I'll be back in this deep mess
The life of me and all my ghosts
The thing I seem to value most...
