[Verse 1] You can hear them, you can tell them by the way they knock, Heavy fists on the door, ticking hands of the clock. Who told you? Was it the face you swore to trust? Who sold you? Left me choking on the dust. Every whisper cuts deep, every figure’s a spy, I can feel them lurking just beyond the sky. Who told you? Was it someone close to home? Who sold you? Now I stand here all alone. [Chorus 1] Gonna make me turn against all of my friends, Trust is broken, and it feels like the end. You better have something damn worthy to say, Or I’ll burn this bridge by the light of day. Every truth’s a lie; every bond is frayed, When loyalty dies, only guilt remains. [Verse 2] They’re growing dope everywhere around the block, Plants creeping like the ticking of a bomb’s clock. Smoke hangs heavy, a shroud over the street, The ground underfoot feels like defeat. Sirens wail, but no one even flinches, Every face hardened, life measured in inches. It’s survival of the cruel in this broken scene, Where nothing is as simple as it seems. [Chorus 2] You’ve already made me turn against my friends, Trust shattered, this fracture won’t mend. You better have something to take this away, Or I’ll let this fire consume your charade. Every truth’s a weapon; every bond betrayed, When loyalty dies, only pain remains. [Verse 3] I’ll never do it again, but I’ve said that before, The weight of my choices is eating my core. I can’t afford my life because I’m spending it all, Every rise to the top predicts a harder fall. [Bridge] [Intrumental Break] One eye on the telephone, one on the door, Every creak of the floor leaves me wanting more. Paranoia’s a poison that eats you alive, But in this world, it’s the price to survive. Even silence screams, even forms betray, Every moment of calm feels like it’ll decay. Inaction burns worse than the lies we’re told, In this game of survival, you can’t grow old. [Chorus 3] I’ve turned against everyone I once called friends, Now all I know is betrayal never ends. You had your chance, but there’s nothing to say, Now I’ll burn these memories, ashes decay. Every truth’s a scar; every bond I’ve slayed, When loyalty dies, nothing real remains. [Verse 4] I’ll never do it again, but I’ve said that before, The weight of my choices is eating my core. I can’t afford my life because I’m spending it all, Every rise to the top predicts a harder fall. The mirror’s reflection is a stranger I hate, Locked in a cycle I can’t seem to break. I’ll never do it again, but here I stand, Trapped by the cards in my trembling hand. [End]
