Salem lyrics

[Verse 1: Pat Finnegan]
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

[Chorus: Pat Finnegan]
But a meteor in the sky revealed the 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

[Verse 2: Pat Finnegan]
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
[Chorus: Pat Finnegan & Ryan Passariello]
But a meteor in the sky revealed the 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

[Outro: Ryan Passariello]
It's smoldering inside
My sense of pride
Their burning eyes upon me left it
A scarlet sign
To spend my life
Beneath the weight of pure resentment
No place to hide
I'd rather die
