Vocals and lyrics by Carl Schulz

lyrics

Existing as a ghost, such a narrow beam of light. I have sunk into the depths, there is no end in sight. With every step I take, I come closer to the edge. Don’t say I never said I’m wrong, don’t say I was never dead.

I’m a fake, I’m a fake. I have no place to call my home. I’m awake, I’m awake. I have never felt so cold. These walls are closing in and I am slowly getting old.

Please hear me cry, please let this be a dream. I am a lie, these scars will go unseen. But with this knife to my throat, maybe you’ll hear me choke. I regret everything I said, it means nothing now. I was born to make a mess of this, and you’ve seen how.

I’m ashamed, I’m ashamed. I am a fucking hoax. I’m to blame, I’m to blame. I’ve never taken notes. It’s all my fault, I ruined this. With my heart in my hand, I just hope this all makes sense.

I am a failure. I am a ghost. I’m haunting myself, it’s what I hate the most.

If you never hear my voice ever again, I just want to say I’m wrong, and this will be my end. I make no peace with how this came to be. I let you leave. You will never love me. I let these bridges burn. I am so ashamed. When the ashes cool, I will always be to blame.
