A Blade in the Dark

+ Show full styles

[VERSE 1]
I’m a ghost in the corridor of "I told you so"
While the giants scream above, I’m kneeling low
The glare of the spotlight is a blinding lie
I’d rather track the truth with a blackened eye
Soft boots on the marble, I don’t make a sound
I’m digging up the ego that I left in the ground.
[PRE-CHORUS]
The air is thick with the noise of the "Perfect"
But I’m down here, stripping back the surface
It’s a loud war, it’s a bright flame
But I’m winning in the dark where I have no name.
[CHORUS]
I’m fighting from the shadows, I’m learning how to bleed
Every time I’m wrong is the only light I need!
Oh, the "Righteous" are deafened by their own parade
But I’m the architect of every mistake I’ve made.
In the velvet dark, I find the way
To kill the King of "Always Right" today.
[VERSE 2] 
Sneaking past the mirrors where the vanity grows
I’m the only one who sees where the poison flows
You shout your gospel like a heavy iron chain
I’m the silent water carving holes in your brain
Step light, breathe deep, let the pride fall
I’m the smallest shadow in a very big hall.
[PRE-CHORUS]
It’s a loud war, it’s a bright flame
But I’m winning in the dark where I have no name!
[CHORUS]
I’m fighting from the shadows, I’m learning how to bleed
Every time I’m wrong is the only light I need!
Oh, the "Righteous" are deafened by their own parade
But I’m the architect of every mistake I’ve made.
In the velvet dark, I find the way
To kill the King of "Always Right" today.
[Vocal] 
Check the pulse, check the rhythm of the ego on the edge
I’m a tactical assassin on a psychologi-ledge
While you’re screaming at the ceiling, I’m a shadow in the hall
I’m the one who pulled the pin to watch the monument fall
It’s a mission, a collision of the pride and the precision
I’m dissecting every "truth" with a surgical incision
You’re a loud-mouthed king in a paper-thin crown
But I’m the ghost in the gears bringing everything down!
Admit it, I’m wrong, yeah, I said it, I’m winning
The end of the lie is the only beginning
I’m counting the errors, I’m stacking the flaws
I’m breaking the cycles and breaking the laws
Of a self-centered narrative, loud and comparative
Stealth is the weapon and growth is the narrative
No light, no hype, just a blade in the dark
I’m killing the "Me" just to find the spark!
One... two... BREATHE!
[BRIDGE]
Wrong! (Is a lesson!)
Wrong! (Is a weapon!)
I’ll take the scar, I’ll take the blow
It’s the only way a soul can grow!
Silence is the loudest gun!
Watch me come undone!
[FINAL CHORUS]
I’m fighting from the shadows, I’m learning how to bleed
Every time I’m wrong is the only light I need!
Oh, the "Righteous" are deafened by their own parade
But I’m the architect of every mistake I’ve made.
In the velvet dark, I find the way
To kill the King of "Always Right" today.
[OUTRO]
The war is loud...
But the win is quiet...
I’m not right...
...and I love it.
