Radical Face - Guilt

I thought I'd walked a thousand miles
But it was all inside my head
My feet were almost where I started off
And I couldn't tell you why I'd bled
And I'm not surprised by what was said
But it still hit me all the same
Just 'cause you see the storm
It doesn't mean you're ready for the rain

And I was dancing with my ghosts
'Cause I could never let them go
Oh, no, well I've got to
They're no longer here
And no one is watching
Sometimes your guilt just wears a face
And I would whistle in the dark
'Cause I felt safe while all alone
Well, it's time that I let all the dead be the dead
There's no honor in suffering
No reward 'cause you've bled
The rest can sort itself out

It's hard to say when things have run their course
While in the fog and still afraid
And once you see what lies behind a mask
That mask will never look the same
And once the pattern shows itself
You can't pretend that nothing's changed
It's hard to fake it when you see the steps
Before they're even made

And I was dancing with my ghosts
'Cause I could never let them go, go, go
But I've got to
They're no longer here
And no one is watching
Sometimes your guilt just wears a face
And I would whistle in the dark
'Cause I felt safe while all alone
Well, it's time that I let all the dead be the dead
There's no honor in suffering
No reward 'cause you've bled
The rest can sort itself out
