[Verse 1]
I watched you wear a mask, it helped to hide your lies,
But I saw the cracks, the darkness in your eyes.
Now you're gone, and they're singing your name,
But I know the truth, and it's driving me insane.
[Pre-Chorus]
They say you were so kind, a light,
But I met the demons you tried to hide.
Now they're building statues, raising you high,
While I'm drowning in the secrets you left behind.
[Chorus- clean vocals]
I'm choking on the words I'll never say!
Watch them bury you and all your mistakes.
I've got these visions circling in my head,
They say don't talk ill of the dead.
But I'm breaking under the ghost they'll never see.
Yeah, you're dead, but you're still killing me.
[Verse 2]
They talk like you'redone kind of saint, talking big about your endless grace,
But I know the venom, they never got a taste.
Now they're crying, placing flowers at your feet,
While I'm haunted by the demon they'll never meet.
[Pre-Chorus]
They say you were so kind, a light,
But I met the demons you tried to hide.
Now they're building statues, raising you high,
While I'm drowning in the secrets you left behind.
[Chorus- clean vocals]
I'm choking on the words I'll never say!
Watch them bury you and all your mistakes.
I've got these visions circling in my head,
They say don't talk ill of the dead.
But I'm breaking under the ghost they'll never see.
Yeah, you're dead, but you're still killing me.
[Bridge]
I tried to bury it, tried to let it go,
But the praise for you has got to go,
Now you're gone, and they're singing your name,
But I can't forget the crimes, the lies, the shame.
[Pre-Chorus]
They say you were so kind, a light,
But I met the demons you tried to hide.
Now they're building statues, raising you high,
While I'm drowning in the secrets you left behind.
[Chorus- clean vocals]
I'm choking on the words I'll never say!
Watch them bury you and all your mistakes.
I've got these visions circling in my head,
They say don't talk ill of the dead.
But I'm breaking under the ghost they'll never see.
Yeah, you're dead, but you're still killing me.
