Lyrics
Intro, female vocals
My hands dirty, blood stains on my skin
Grief sits heavy, I just swallow it in
Pain keeps preachin’ where silence should live
Past won’t fade, it takes what it gives
Verse 1, male vocals
Caught in the night where the answers fade,
Every lie I swallow’s just another blade.
Carved in my skin, the weight don’t quit,
Every road circles back, can’t outrun this shit.
Stone on my neck, rope cuttin’ tight,
Prayin’ for light but it breaks each night.
Hook, female vocals
Restless mind, it don’t let me breathe
Streets collapse while I grind my teeth
(oh-oh)
Flames keep rising, nothing to claim
Scars stay carved, but I spit that pain
(oh-oh)
Instrumental Solo
Verse 2, male vocals
Truth spills heavy, every corner gets watched.
Cuts talk louder than the sermons they preach,
Wisdom hits harder than the wars that we teach.
Blocks still smolder, no profit, no peace,
Eyes stay stingin’ while the smoke don’t cease.
Verse 3, female vocals
I been choking on the smoke from the lies they spread,
Every truth I spit feels like blood I bled.
Scars on my chest don’t fade with time,
They remind me of a history that's mine.
I walk through the fire with my lungs in pain,
But I’m still standing, nothing left to gain.
Bridge 1, male vocals
Threads of sorrow stitched under my skin,
Every page of memory drags me in.
Truth is steel and it cuts too real,
Open wounds that never heal.
Ain’t no savior where I’ve been.
Verse 4, male vocals
Every road bend back with the pain I ride,
Answers come quick but they drown in pride.
Holdin’ a heat that don’t call no bluff,
Life dealt dirty and the deal stayed rough.
Nights press heavy, the cuffs still cling,
Dreams get strangled ‘fore they learn to swing.
Hook, female vocals
Darkness posted on every street sign
Truth gets twisted, erased by design
(oh-oh)
Streets keep bleeding, no crown, no throne
Still I stand screaming, I won’t die alone
(oh-oh)
Extended Instrumental Solo
Bridge 2, duet
The night won’t lie
The fire consumes
(The burden… the burden…)
Heart still bleeding
Nowhere to run
Final Hook, female vocals
Power keeps stealing, but the streets still shout,
No chain strong enough to lock us out
(oh-oh).
System can’t break me, no, I won’t fall,
Die on my feet before I crawl at all
(oh-oh).
Outro, male vocals
Every thought a maze that tangles my soul,
Answers drip poison straight down the hole
(oh-oh).
Preachers stay quiet, but the scars still spar,
I carry the weight underneath the stars
(oh-oh).
Lessons cut deep on the inside skin,
Ain’t no map for the end, just the road where it begins
(oh-oh).
Final Hook Repeat, male and female vocals
Power keeps stealing, but the streets still shout,
No chain strong enough to lock us out
(oh-oh).
Voices together, we break that line,
Truth in the struggle, the fight is mine
(oh-oh)
Fade Out to End
