[Intro – Samuel, calmer tone] I thought I won… I thought I buried you for good Left you in the shadows But something don’t feel right... [Verse 1 – Samuel] I walk alone now, no voices in my head But silence is louder than the things you said I burned your name, erased the stains But the air still reeks of all your games I sleep, but I dream of fists and chains Your laughter echoes in acid rain I’m free, but not the way I planned Cuz I still see your footprints in the sand [Verse 2 – Spixe, faint at first, then stronger] (Sssamuel... did you think I died?) You can't kill a ghost you made inside You lit the match, but I’m the flame I’m carved in the scars, in the guilt and shame I’m not gone—I just laid low Waitin' for your peace to crack and show Every tear, I drink it up You forgot, I *am* your crutch [Chorus – Samuel & Spixe overlapping] I swore I was done But you’re back in my skin I buried your name But you're clawing back in I never left I *am* the part you can’t cleanse You didn’t win I’m the echo that never ends [Verse 3 – Samuel] I wanted healing, I wanted peace But you built a cage that still has keys I scream to the sky, but no one hears You're the whisper that controls my fears I thought faith would be enough But your lies still wrap around me rough So what now? Another war inside? Or do I learn to coexist with the other side? [Bridge] You need me... I’m the pain that kept you strong I’m the scream behind your songs I’m the fist you used to fight I’m the dark that gave you light No… you're poison in my veins You're the storm that brought me chains But maybe I need to own your fire To burn away what’s left of the liar (Spixe & Samuel together) Maybe the war ain't won with silence Maybe we grow from inner violence [Final Chorus – both, trading lines then overlapping] I’m done running I’m always here You’re not control I’m your biggest fear But I see now, what you are to me You’re the wound that forced the healing in me We’re fractured, torn, yet still we stand The battle rages... but I command [Outro – Samuel softly] So stay if you must… But you no longer lead... I know who I am now And I finally… breathe.
