[Intro] [Switch to Male 1] You finally see us clearly. Took you long enough. [Verse 1] [Switch to Female 1] It steps into the light like it owns the floor And I know that silhouette from a life I tried to bury Not a corpse. Not a ghost. A weapon they built when the borders started burning I remember the forges under the old temples The way they fed living names into the bindings We called them necessary. We called them the last wall. We never called them what they actually were. [Pre-Chorus] [Switch to Female 1] Looking at it now feels like looking at my own hands After the work was already done No clean version of this story left Just the cost standing upright in front of me [Chorus] [Switch to Female 1] I know what you are I helped make the shape you wear Every joint and every hunger Was a decision someone signed in blood And I was in the room when the ink dried [Verse 2] [Switch to Female 1] The second one joins it on the far side of the hall Same posture. Same wrong grace. They move like memory given weight and teeth Like the worst night of the old wars never ended My body still carries the second rite like a bruise that won’t fade But seeing them clear cuts deeper than the drain Because part of me still recognizes the design And part of me wants to finish what we started [Pre-Chorus] [Switch to Female 1] Looking at it now feels like looking at my own hands After the work was already done No clean version of this story left Just the cost standing upright in front of me [Chorus] [Switch to Female 1] I know what you are I helped make the shape you wear Every joint and every hunger Was a decision someone signed in blood And I was in the room when the ink dried [Bridge] [Switch to Male 1] You remember the purpose. Good. Then you remember why we don’t stop. [Switch to Female 1] I remember enough To know I don’t get to walk away clean Not from this Not from you [Chorus] [Switch to Female 1] I know what you are I helped make the shape you wear Every joint and every hunger Was a decision someone signed in blood And I was in the room when the ink dried[Outro] [Switch to Female 1] No more pretending these are just monsters. They’re the bill coming due. [Switch to Male 1] Collect.
