The Ghost Upstairs

Run away but don’t pretend you’re innocent

You’ve felt it building for years and done nothing

To circumvent the causes and the affects

Of avoidable imbalances

There were people here who cherished you

Followed you, looked up to you

What is left for us now?

So many things I never got to say

Like that wherever you are

You’re fuckin dead to me!

I helped you abandon your duties

And tried to ease your pain

So go and crawl inside yourself for comfort

Your mind will follow you there

Deny until there is nothing left to live for

Don’t act so goddamn surprised that life isn’t fair

So many things I never got to say

Like that wherever you are

You’re fuckin dead to me!

I helped you abandon your duties

And tried to ease your pain

So rally me to your cause

Then run away and justify it all

Only loyalty will satisfy you

Something you know nothing of

Your lack of dedication

Was my liberation

Imagine where I’d be

If I had made you proud

I used to pity you

Until I felt your disease inside my head

You cry victim

To anyone who will hear

You disgust me

You were on the other side of the world

Before you ever went there
