[Intro] [distorted guitar power chords, driving drums] [Verse 1] [palm-muted electric guitar, bass, and drums] You wore blame like armor I wore hope like skin Thought I was the savior You the original sin We were mirrors of day and night You fought through the dark as I painted the light [Chorus] [full band, open power chords] But villains don't laugh the way you did With broken glass behind your grin And I stopped trying to rewrite the script When I saw the truth within Turns out the villain had stories the hero never knew And I guess the chaos still looks like truth [Verse 2] [clean arpeggiated guitar enters, bass and drums continue] No side was clean, no lines were straight We both bled love in our own strange way Now I don't play the martyr, I don't cast the blame I just dance with the shadows to see where we are the same (The same) To see where we are the same [Bridge] [drums drop out, ambient synth pads] I sifted through my own light and realized my mistake I was painting you with colors that looked the same only with different names [drums and distorted guitars build up] I glanced in the window and saw my reflection Who I could have become from another direction And I knew then that peace is in the past That to move forward you have to stop looking back [screamed vocals] I wallowed in the dark, you danced in the light Trading places to make things right! [Chorus] [full intensity, heavy distortion] Turns out the villain had stories the hero never knew And I guess the chaos still looks like truth No side was clean, no lines were straight We both bled love in our own strange way Now I don't play the martyr, I don't cast the blame I just dance with the shadows to see where we are the same (See where we are the same) [Outro] [guitars fade to clean delay-heavy melody] Dancing with shadows and are the same [final cymbal swell]
