Haunting Lies (v2)

Verse 1:
Send your flowers to the flame
Your hollow gifts, your shame
I never asked to be remembered
I chose the silence, cold and untethered
But you dragged me back, breathless and bare
Tethered to guilt I never shared

Why do you haunt what you destroyed?
I’m dead to you just a void
Don’t carve my name into your skin
Unless you want the rot within

Chorus:
Blood on your hands, a stain you can’t hide
My pain reflected in your dead-eyed pride
You buried the truth and called it goodbye
But I still scream through your haunting lies
Don’t speak my name don’t let it rise
I’m the echo that never dies

Verse 2:
You built a tomb inside your chest
Called it love, and laid me to rest
You cry for me in front of stone
But kept me chained when I was alone

Cut it loose go face your fall
My glory’s gone, you claimed it all
Still I rise, a fire in your shame
Burning through your twisted claim

Chorus:
Blood on your hands, a stain you can’t hide
My pain reflected in your dead-eyed pride
You buried the truth and called it goodbye
But I still scream through your haunting lies
Don’t speak my name don’t let it rise
I’m the echo that never dies

Bridge:
Let me go, let the dead be free
You built your hell, don’t anchor me
Your sins are yours wear them well
You live with them. I broke the spell

Verse 3:
I walk your halls, unseen but real
The shadow your conscience will always feel
You wanted silence, you wanted peace
But in your lies, I’ll never cease

Chorus (final):
Blood on your hands, a stain you can’t hide
My pain reflected in your dead-eyed pride
You buried the truth and called it goodbye
But I still scream through your haunting lies
Don’t speak my name don’t let it rise
I’m the echo that never dies

Outro:
Look in the mirror what do you see?
My ghost, or your duplicity?
You locked me in this curse you drew
But haunting lies always come back to you
