Schizm - Ghosts Lyrics

I looked up to you, clung to every word (You stood silent and absent)
But you saw right through, trapped by invisible walls. (Haunted by previous actions)
Quick to medicate, closed off the outside world. (You stood silent and absent)
To address each wound, you'd risk bleeding out

Stoic stares, annexed truths
Buried the obvious, whispered through

Thought it was me, why you couldn't open up
But years ago you took a perilous plunge
Atrocities come haunting. You can never outrun
Always a shiver never sat truly still
Heard the screaming from a face you once knew
Atrocities come haunting. You can never outrun

As you stared down the barrel of a gun
Pulled the trigger, left emotionally numb
Pushed forward when you instincts said run
You keep on holding, the images in silence comes

Stoic stares, annexed truths
Buried the obvious, whispered through

Pondering if someone else knew
The monster inside was always you
Took joy in inflicting, The darkest admission
Intoxicated with a rush from the hunt
Diminished guilt was replaced with fun
Took joy in inflicting, The darkest admission

As you stared down the barrel of a gun
Pulled the trigger, left emotionally numb
Pushed forward when you instincts said run
You keep on holding, the images in silence comes

Is it inside of me? Was I doomed at birth?

As you stared down the barrel of a gun
Pulled the trigger, left emotionally numb
Pushed forward when you instincts said run
You keep on holding, the images in silence comes
You keep on holding, the images in silence comes
