[Verse 1] I keep the book in steel Names on every page You talked big for cheap I watched the whole act fade Pocket full of excuses Shoes full of dust You sold that dream twice Then blamed it on luck I read the grin like code Too smooth, too clean Silver on your tongue But the teeth stay mean One hand on the deal One hand on the knife You wrote fake numbers down Then called it real life [Pre-Chorus] Yeah, I seen that look That fast-talk spin You open your mouth And the lie walks in Line by line You bend the truth But the truth got weight And it lands on you [Chorus] LEDGER OF FALSE CLAIMS I keep the score SILVER TONGUED DEVIL Knock, knock at the door LEDGER OF FALSE CLAIMS Your mask don't stay SILVER TONGUED DEVIL Watch it melt away (ledger of false claims) (silver tongued devil) [Verse 2] You came in polished Like you never broke But your whole little empire Runs on a smoke Cuffs on the promises Chain on the plan Every bright idea Got blood on the hands I don't buy sweet talk I buy proof You can flash that charm Still tell on the truth Back room grin Cold eye stare You leave with applause But the bill gets shared [Pre-Chorus] Yeah, I seen that look That fast-talk spin You open your mouth And the lie walks in Line by line You bend the truth But the truth got weight And it lands on you [Chorus] LEDGER OF FALSE CLAIMS I keep the score SILVER TONGUED DEVIL Knock, knock at the door LEDGER OF FALSE CLAIMS Your mask don't stay SILVER TONGUED DEVIL Watch it melt away (ledger of false claims) (silver tongued devil) [Bridge] Now the room go quiet When I name your games No shine can save you From the list of names Strings cut sharp Then the sax bites back Every lie you built Crumble on contact [Final Chorus] LEDGER OF FALSE CLAIMS I keep the score SILVER TONGUED DEVIL Knock, knock at the door LEDGER OF FALSE CLAIMS Your mask don't stay SILVER TONGUED DEVIL Watch it melt away LEDGER OF FALSE CLAIMS Say it one more time SILVER TONGUED DEVIL Now pay for the crime (ledger of false claims) (silver tongued devil)
