The Infection In Us

Описание: (Intro)

Evil in the rafters…
City lights bleeding out slow.
I feel it crawling
like a hymn through frozen snow.

(Verse 1)

I watched the kind ones turn their eyes away,
smiling like saints with a mouth full of pins.
They trade their names for a safer disguise,
call it peace when the panic begins.

There’s a fever in the headlines,
a lullaby in the fumes
every mirror learns to lie
when the shadows fill the room.

(Pre-Chorus)

It slips in soft, then it speaks in teeth,
turns us into mine, turns belief into grief.
I’m trying to breathe with a storm in my chest
tell me who I am when I’m not at my best.

(Chorus)

It’s the infection in us
black halo, white knuckles.
A darkness you feed
’til it eats what you love.
Say my name like a curse,
then pray like you mean it
we’re all wearing the hurt,
and it’s learning to sing.

(Verse 2)

They sell you a crown made of almost okay,
a luxury cage with the bars painted gold.
You laugh for the camera, you flinch in the frame,
your heartbeat sounds old when you’re trying to cope.

I’ve seen friends become weapons,
seen strangers become walls
it’s not hate that starts the wildfire,
it’s the silence when it calls.

(Pre-Chorus)

It knows what you fear how you fold, how you fade,
how you bite your own tongue so the world feels safe.
But I hear that crack in the sweet little lie…
I hear the dead part of hope asking why?

(Chorus)

It’s the infection in us
black halo, white knuckles.
A darkness you feed
’til it eats what you love.
Say my name like a curse,
then pray like you mean it
we’re all wearing the hurt,
and it’s learning to sing.

(Bridge)

If you stare long enough,
the void starts to look like home…
but I remember
we were fire before we were stone.

So I’ll drag the truth into daylight,
let it burn, let it bite
I won’t crown this sickness holy
just to make it feel right.

(Breakdown)

Hands up hands up
Heart shut heart shut
Smile wide smile wide
Rot gut rot gut
We keep dancing in the fallout,
’til the fallout feels like love.

(Final Chorus)

It’s the infection in us
black halo, white knuckles.
A darkness you feed
’til it eats what you love.
But I won’t be your cage,
won’t be your decision
I’m a spark in the rain,
and I’m still listening.

(Outro)

Not every shadow is evil…
but every shadow wants in.
So lock the door to the lie
and let the living begin.
