Verse 1

I been walkin’ through the desert in my worn-out shoes

Dust in my lungs, got nothin’ left to lose

too many sins and a cracked halo glow

Tryna outrun the things I’ll never outgrow

Mama said, “Boy, you gotta face your truth”

Demons don’t sleep, they just wait on you

Every bad choice got a shadow name

Every guilty thought feel the same

Pre-Chorus

He don’t talk loud, but he speaks real clear

You feel him more than you see him near

Cold gold eyes in the dark of my mind

Like he been watchin’ me my whole damn life

Chorus

Anubis standin’ in the firelight

Scales in his hands in the dead of night

Says, “Lay your sins down, let me see your scars”

Weigh my heart against who you are

If I’m too heavy, I don’t cross that line

If I’m too broken, I get left behind

So I’m prayin’ in the dark, beggin’ for truth

When Anubis weigh the weight of my youth

Verse 2

I got ghosts in my blood, dirt in my veins

Love like a curse, pain like a chain

Tried to numb it out with smoke and pills

Tried to outrun what I always feel

Every mirror just another lie

Every smile just a better disguise

But the dark got a memory too

And it always leads me back to you

Pre-Chorus

Ain’t no deal, ain’t no holy trade

Ain’t no heaven bought, ain’t no hell delayed

Just a scale and a feather of truth

And the sum of the things I do

Chorus

Anubis standin’ in the firelight

Scales in his hands in the dead of night

Says, “Lay your sins down, let me see your scars”

Weigh my heart against who you are

If I’m too heavy, I don’t cross that line

If I’m too broken, I get left behind

So I’m prayin’ in the dark, beggin’ for truth

When Anubis weigh the weight of my youth

Bridge

I don’t need wings, I just need peace

I don’t need gold, I just need sleep

If I fall, don’t let me fall alone

If I die, just take me home

I ain’t clean, I ain’t pure inside

But I’m tired of livin’ this half-life

If there’s mercy in ancient hands

Let it find me where I stand

Final Chorus

Anubis standin’ in the firelight

Scales in his hands in the dead of night

Feather of truth, heart full of pain

Tryna be more than my guilt and shame

If I’m too heavy, teach me to change

If I’m too broken, break these chains

I’m prayin’ in the dark, beggin’ for truth

When Anubis weigh the weight of my youth

Outro

So I walk through the shadow, head held low

If I make it through, only he gon’ know

Feather or flame, heaven or truth

I put my soul in the hands of Anubis and hope he choose
