Salem

I never thought I'd see betrayal personal and up close I never thought I'd bear the brunt of scrutiny in my home I never thought I'd need a place to hide away from your ghost I never thought I'd care enough to lose a piece of my soul But a meteor in the sky revealed the truth to me Truth to me We share the pedastal of shame but I bear the mark upon me Constant hysteria in my lucid dreams Into the past beneath the gaze of infernal eyes I know my pride can't hide these red lines I know I can't hate the symbol they create Your ghost lives by my bedside I know I can't take the cold of Salem nights The cold of Salem nights I never thought a pearl would grow from rivers that run with blood I never thought I'd be defined by sins that I can't outrun I never thought the world would know the horrible things I've done I never thought I'd see the sign of treachery worn by one But a meteor in the sky revealed the truth to me Truth to me We share the pedestal of shame but I bear the mark upon me Constant hysteria in my lucid dreams Into the past beneath the gaze of infernal eyes I know my pride can't hide these red lines I know I can't hate the symbol they create Your ghost lives by my bedside I know I can't take the cold of Salem nights The cold of Salem nights It's smoldering inside My sense of pride Their burnings eyes upon me left it A scarlet sign I'm resigned to spend my life Beneath the weight of pure resentment No place to hide I'd rather die
