[Verse 1]
The dealers are bluffing and the deck is stacked
If we stop the gamble we might make it back
I pray we surrender instead of react
With pa**ive aggression and verbal attacks
Smoking through packs, gritting our teeth
Poisoning feelings, avoiding the tears
Hardening hearts, defying release
Praying to God, then rejecting the peace
Emotional freeze, end of the tease
Lost all our worth and we're down on our knees
They will never cease to fill up our cup
As long as we please, they'll bu*ter us up
Memories flashing fast
Picking up pieces of knowledge we pa**ed
Putting together the smell of forever
The demon will shiver in the looking gla**
All of our lows, all of our highs
What we thought was wrong, what we thought was right
Are swapping their places so hell will suffice
What they're selling is not paradise
May we be carried away from the buried and gather the courage for making the call
Exit the spirits that haunted the hall
We're feeling the hope in the core of it all
Inside these hearts we've found a place
Love is too wise - spare us the praise
Visions of our origins are guidance that nothing can ever erase
It's more than a phase, viewing mistakes
We're making amends as we exit the blaze
Shedding the light on mysterious ways
And walking with honor to beautiful days
[Hook]
Which of the both of us am I
And which of them are you?
You're not dead, you're just pretending that you're sleeping too
No need to hide your eyes, hit me with the truth
It's no one but yourself that you are talking to
[Verse 2]
I corrupted the part of me
That I thought for years was harming me
Then I fought my way to the armory
Replacing division with harmony
In the mist, I walked through the mess
In rhythm with my optimism
As a defense mechanism being raised from the dead
Exposing demons on the path ahead
That mask themselves as friends
To trick my soul into their filthy beds
Using the lies that it was fed
Sticking the danger to me to convince it that they're safe instead
Words they say and said are stored in scrolls I wish I never read
We were taken under, animated
When we turned away and underestimated
The amount of times that they instigated
The scenarios slightly orchestrated
Sickening quickening of our decline
Now we're taking it back cause we're no longer blind
Facing the accountability for all the moments that we crossed the line
Putting in efforts in hopes that we find
That in one of the tears we're refusing to cry
Reasons we suffer are made to be vividly seen and defined
Then leave them behind
We've established that we've learned to fly
Now let's build this nest
Everything will be provided if belief should manifest
[Hook] x2
Which of the both of us am I
And which of them are you?
You're not dead, you're just pretending that you're sleeping too
No need to hide your eyes, hit me with the truth
It's no one but yourself that you are talking to
