The door closes shut I hear a noise upstairs But I'm not sure what it was I creep towards the stairs A faint and quiet whisper makes its way into my ears Oh, who could it be? They beckon for an answer with a clear apology Do you hold the key? The ghost it sounds familiar even sounds a bit like me So young and confused a life of abuse I'm the culprit, oh I am the culprit You never believed in hope you can't see I'm the culprit, oh I am the culprit I run up the stairs I hear the voice repeat this is now your cross to bear The sound travels through An image of what could have been, it looks a lot like you So young and confused a life of abuse I'm the culprit, oh I am the culprit You never believed in hope you can't see I'm the culprit, oh I am the culprit I can't be your spine anymore I can't be your spine anymore Anymore Not enough of hours of darkness to sleep off the guilt The room was all finished And painted your name on the quilt But no one will know it's for you No one will know it's for you So young and confused a life of abuse You never believed in hope you can't see So young and confused a life of abuse I'm the culprit, oh I am the culprit You never believed in hope you can't see I'm the culprit, oh I am the culprit I can't be your spine anymore Anymore
