ZulFaqqar Shams - Me lyrics

[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
