[Verse 1] I don't hate you I don't love you either I just weigh you Like a stone on a scale I am the silence After the verdict I am the sentence You knew you would fail [Pre-Chorus] Every debt gets paid Every hand gets stayed Nothing walks away clean From what it means [Chorus] I am the scale, I am the blade I am the price that must be paid Close your eyes, it's already done You were guilty the moment you'd begun I am the scale, I am the blade The sins have to be paid [Verse 2] I don't punish I only balance Every choice you made Comes back around I am the echo Of every promise broken I am the weight That finally hits the ground [Pre-Chorus] Every debt gets paid Every hand gets stayed Nothing walks away clean From what it means [Chorus] I am the scale, I am the blade I am the price that must be paid Close your eyes, it's already done You were guilty the moment you'd begun I am the scale, I am the blade The sins have to be paid [Verse 3] I don't choose sides I only choose true There's no such thing as mercy When the debt comes due I was in you Long before the crime was I'm the math you can't Unmake or unpick [Chorus — final, full] I am the scale, I am the blade I am the price that must be paid Close your eyes, it's already done You were guilty the moment you'd begun I am the scale, I am the blade The sins have to be paid
