[Papa] I used to bite my tongue 'til it bled, Play nice, yeah, still the riots raged in my head, faked smiles just to keep the peace Learned that silence ain’t armor—it’s a leash They called it “sadness,” thought I was depressed, No, my soul was just possessed by the weight of the hell I suppressed [Papa] Recitin' off pages, responses echo off unbalanced scales Livin' in color, full spectrum No grayscale Cut ties like umbilicals, I exhale, face goes pale, pop in my chest, air scent stale Fake family preaches greed through grief, I feast for truth in their hollow black lines, turnin' leaves, we fall to fables, fuck'em, stood up 'n' left the table, found more color in my friend's booth [Papa] I’m done dimming down to fit your frame! I'm going to speak my mind and say what I want, because you are all too afraid Sitting around, gossiping hate, seperating you from everything you say makes a family! Blood aspires an iron taste, but not a bond, your fake love’s a mirror laced with shame! [Papa] YEAAAHHHHHHH! I'VE BEEN BROKEN FREE! [Chorus - Papa D] (x2) [Secondary Chorus Rises Heavier] [Pop-Punk Vocal Scheme] I live in color See through the shutters Don’t need your comfort, don’t need your “pride” I’m not a puppet or your escape to hide You've stepped into the world where I reside I’m fear, I’m joy I’m the rage in rhyme! [Vikingur] "I woke up in the cold embrace of the sky, Choking on the remnants of another life. Still… I want to try again... (Still...) I don’t want to close my doors to love tonight. I’m waiting quietly, For someone warm enough, To hold this tired heart of mine... Oh… " [Vikingur] "Somewhere out there… I found myself again, After being gone so long [Papa D Ad-Libs Screams Within Verse] But I have waited for so long, For the wrong person, Who stole four years before moving on. I want to trust again, but Gods, the fear of being left alone feels far too strong. (Again...) [Vikingur Resumes Control] I want to see the colors, In their brightest form, The way the world once shone. Is there someone out there, who’ll hold my hand, and love me simply for the person I’ve become? [Papa D And Vikingur alternate Going Back and Forth and Dueting Lines] Soft heart, hard world. Tough skin, torn soul. Cold nights, warm lies. Sharp truth, dull hope. Tired bones, loud fears. Empty rooms, heavy ghosts. Bare chest, deep ache. Quiet voice, loud wounds. Shy trust, bold pain. Pentagram on my chest, Gods smile above in the night sky. WHY CAN'T I FIND MY OWN PEACE!!! WHY!!! But I know... My soul... It won't surrender, to your foul deceptions... I will survive... I know... I will survive... My redemption, eternal dissection. Will set me free. [Both Craze] My time, my ascension..." [Papa] [Vikingur Enters Papa D's Verse With Rage And Respect] I'M LIVING IN COLOR! — I'm raw, I'm ripping it right Riding a ripstick through talkin' an' lies Bleeding bright into the night I won’t beg No I won’t conform I learned before, from my father and evolved into the next state I was born, to feel — storm to storm I revel in the edged fate [Papa] YEAAAHHHHHHH! I'VE BEEN BROKEN FREE! [Papa D] I live in color See through the shutters Don’t need your comfort, don’t need your “pride” I’m not a puppet or your escape to hide You've stepped into the world where I reside I’m fear, I’m joy I’m the rage in rhyme! [Vikingur Ad-Libs] "OHHHH"
