The Ghost Upstairs

[Verse 1]
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 effects
Of avoidable imbalances

[Chorus]
There were people here who cherished you
Followed you
Looked up to you
What is left for us now?

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
So go and crawl inside yourself for comfort
Your mind will follow you there
Deny 'til 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

[Bridge]
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

[Outro]
You cry victim to anyone that'll hear
You disgust me
You were on the other side of the world
Before you ever went there
