Lyrics
Mephistopheles
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You say that I'm not me anymore
That you hate what I've become
I have withered in shallow graves
Searching through familiar bodies
Hoping to find that boy you lost
But I am nowhere to be found
Some things you can't take back
Some things I can't forget
What's left of me is just an echo
I am only a ghost
A shadow of my former self
Haunting you with old memories
When I was someone else
You can't love a monster
A wreck like me
You can't love a monster
The devil in me
You say it's not all your fault
That I too have made mistakes
Its much easier to hold a grudge
If I keep saying you're to blame
I am only a ghost
A shadow of my former self
Haunting you with old memories
When I was someone else
And I am a ghost,
A shadow of my former self
Filling these old passage ways
I'm only a ghost
I am a monster
I am a beast
I am a monster
I am a fiend.
