Blame Deflect Deny - Dark Pop

[Intro] Everybody knows but nobody speaks Your throne is built on broken teeth The clock keeps bleeding through the wall And you still swear it is not your fault [Verse] You slip through cracks in the company line With a loaded grin and a borrowed spine Every mess has a place to land As long as it never stains your hands You hold the keys while the pressure climbs Then shrug at the ruin you leave behind The warning signs were burning bright But you kept your shadow out of sight [Pre-Chorus] You drag your feet Then call it control You burn the bridge Then blame the road [Chorus] Blame it Deflect it Deny it You wear the crown while the rest of us bleed Blame it Deflect it Deny it Every finger bends away from you Break it Bury it Call it fine Blame it Deflect it Deny it [Verse] You walk over nickels to pick up dust Then wonder why nobody gives you trust You want cheap hands and a perfect line But loyalty dies when you starve the grind You hate the change that could save this place You hate the mirror when it shows your face You pull good people down to the floor Then lock your pride behind a crooked door [Pre-Chorus] You drag your feet Then call it control You sink the ship Then blame the hole [Chorus] Blame it Deflect it Deny it You wear the crown while the rest of us bleed Blame it Deflect it Deny it Every finger bends away from you Break it Bury it Call it fine Blame it Deflect it Deny it [Bridge] What do you know What did you hide What keeps the hammer off your side What leash is buried under his desk That lets you fail and call it best You had the pull You had the say You could have dragged the truth to light But you moved the line And left us blind To clean the wreckage you designed [Break] Most of the time Is not a standard Most of the time Is just surrender You know that You wore the rank Now you hide behind an empty tank [Hook] Blame when the fire gets higher Deflect when they ask who lit the match Deny with your hand on the wire Smile while the whole place cracks [Final Chorus] Blame it Deflect it Deny it You wear the crown while the rest of us bleed Blame it Deflect it Deny it Every finger bends away from you Break it Bury it Call it fine Blame it Deflect it Deny it [Outro] Blame Deflect Deny Blame Deflect Deny [Hard Stop]
