guilt trip
Lyrics
Intro — whispered / distorted
Piece by piece…
I see it now.
Every word.
Every scar.
Every time you made me think
I was the one who broke us.
You called it love.
I called it survival.
---
Verse 1
You left your fingerprints
All over my mind,
Then blamed me for the damage
You left behind.
You twisted every memory,
Rewrote every truth,
Made me wear your sins
Like they belonged to me too.
You said I was the problem,
Said I made you this way,
So I apologized
For the things you made me pay.
Every little fracture,
Every word you denied—
I kept searching for the monster
While you stood by my side.
---
Pre-Chorus
And I kept picking up the pieces,
Trying to make them fit,
But every piece was shaped
By the hands of your guilt.
---
Chorus
This is your guilt trip—
You built it brick by brick!
Put the blame inside my bloodstream,
Made me think I was sick.
This is your guilt trip—
Now the puzzle finally fits!
Every lie, every scarlet echo,
Every crimson counterfeit.
You made me hate myself
For everything you did—
I carried all your guilt
Like it was mine to live with!
---
Verse 2
I remember all the warnings
That I buried underneath,
The voice inside the mirror
That was begging me to leave.
You'd pull me close with promises,
Then push me into doubt,
Give me just enough affection
To keep me from walking out.
You made the poison beautiful,
Put roses on the blade,
Called the cage a sanctuary,
Called the fear a price to pay.
And every time I questioned you,
You changed the fucking frame—
Until I couldn't tell the difference
Between love and shame.
---
Pre-Chorus
Now the echoes sound different,
And the silence tells the truth.
All the things I called my failures
Were the fingerprints of you.
---
Chorus
This is your guilt trip—
You built it brick by brick!
Put the blame inside my bloodstream,
Made me think I was sick.
This is your guilt trip—
Now the puzzle finally fits!
Every lie, every scarlet echo,
Every crimson counterfeit.
You made me hate myself
For everything you did—
I carried all your guilt
Like it was mine to live with!
---
Breakdown — screamed
I'M NOT YOUR CONFESSION!
I'M NOT YOUR EXCUSE!
I'M NOT THE FUCKING MONSTER
YOU NEEDED ME TO BE!
You broke it—
I blamed myself!
You lied—
I questioned myself!
You hurt me—
I apologized!
You disappeared—
I chased you!
You poisoned every memory
Until I couldn't recognize—
MYSELF!
---
Bridge — melodic / haunting
Scarlet echoes in the hallway,
Crimson shadows on the wall,
Pieces of a broken picture
Finally answering it all.
The addiction wasn't love,
The silence wasn't peace,
The guilt was never mine to carry,
And your grip is finally released.
I thought the chains were wrapped around me—
Now I see who held the key.
---
Final Chorus — bigger / layered vocals
This was your guilt trip—
But I survived the ride!
You can keep your fucking secrets,
You can keep your alibis.
This was your guilt trip—
And now the puzzle fits!
Every scarlet echo,
Every crimson counterfeit.
I won't wear your shame,
I won't answer for your sins,
You don't get to call me broken
Just because I wouldn't bend.
You gave me all your guilt—
I gave it back tonight!
---
Outro — whispered
Piece by piece…
The picture's clear.
The monster wasn't in the mirror.
It was the voice
That taught me
To be afraid of it.
I was never guilty.
Not for surviving.
