Ectoplasmic Effigy

I remember dancing frantically in the middle of the night even though I don't have feet anymore
A parasitic feeling, involuntary and enigmatic to my soul
Shaking my skin, my blanket, down to the core
The music keeps playing, moving me like a rag doll

Finding myself unable to grasp my glasses, I question if my hands started to dissipate
I also cannot feel the top of my head. But, I know my hat is up there
The cold winter outside must feel nice, I can tell by looking at the frost on my slate
It must have warm clothes to wear

I woke up one morning feeling a little itch on my back
Down the line, the itch became a pain in the lower end
I tried taking it out, it looks like it's going to crack
Someone must have put pins on my friend

Time passes quickly when you try to find yourself
I start to disappear. My seethrough blood dries
My effigy. It is not on that shelf
I gotta find it before it dies

That girl must have it. The one with the googles and the black skirt
Perhaps I should ask her directly for it. No, that would kill her in a spook
Without ectoplasm, my little me dies and I cannot revert
Who made that thing? And why does the girl have it? Well, I guess it was a fluke

A transfusion of blood between the dead and the living keeps the link to this world
A tabuu that defies any law taught to have been forgotten since I died
The only one of my kind who unintentionally twirled
I gotta help the girl out and, in return, be one once again on the inside
