There’s a sound beneath the silence Like insects in my head It whispers that I ruined you And left you for the dead I taste the metal in my mouth The rust of what I’ve done Every word I tried to fix Just fired another gun I keep your ghost inside my throat It scratches when I speak Every promise I once made Now stains the sheets in bleak You said I could be better You said I wasn’t lost But every time I touched the light I only burned the cross I drink to kill the static But it multiplies instead Black wires in my bloodstream Feeding what I dread I am not afraid of dying I’m afraid I’ll stay the same A shadow wearing human skin Addicted to the blame
