Walking warrior (Fire in the earpiece mix)

[Verse 1] You came in like a calm sea, eyes so safe and warm Said you loved the way I thought, the way I rode the storm Bit by bit you turned the light, shadows on the wall Every doubt you painted over, said you heard no sound at all [Pre-Chorus] I heard footsteps in the hallway, you said it was in my head Saw the cracks inside your stories, you rewrote the words I said You twisted every mirror till my face was not my own Took a man who stood like granite, left him shaking to the bone [Chorus] You call me crazy, but you drew the labyrinth lines Every turn another truth that you deny You wear the halo while you sharpen every knife Steal the air and then accuse me of the fight You play the victim while you’re tightening these chains Paint me a monster, but you’re dancing in my pain I just wanna run, break out of this maze But you built my world into a gaslight cage [Verse 2] Told the world I hit your heart like fists against your face While your fingers on my throat never left a single trace You were smiling at the neighbors, tears on cue and perfect lies I was losing weight and sleep and all the color in my eyes [Pre-Chorus] Every scream you called a whisper, every bruise a harmless game Every time I tried to leave you, you set fire to my name Said the kids would hate their father if I ever walked away So I bled out on the altar just to keep them safe each day [Chorus] You call me crazy, but you drew the labyrinth lines Every turn another truth that you deny You wear the halo while you sharpen every knife Steal the air and then accuse me of the fight You play the victim while you’re tightening these chains Paint me a monster, but you’re dancing in my pain I just wanna run, break out of this maze But you built my world into a gaslight cage [Bridge] You haunt my rearview mirror, standing in the rain Follow every new beginning just to drag it back again Tell my friends I’m dangerous, tell my blood I’m lost Every time I find a future, you remind me what it costs [Breakdown] You keep the children at your side, buy their love with golden strings Teach them I’m the storm cloud and you’re the one with wings Cut my pockets, choke my name, drain me just to prove you’re right Still I’m crawling through the ashes for one taste of open sky [Chorus] You call me crazy, but you drew the labyrinth lines Every turn another truth that you deny You wear the halo while you sharpen every knife Steal the air and then accuse me of the fight You play the victim while you’re tightening these chains Paint me a monster, but you’re dancing in my pain I just wanna run, break out of this maze But you built my world into a gaslight cage [Outro] I’m not your story, I’m not your alibi I’m more than shattered glass behind your eyes One day these bars will rust and fall away Till then I hold my ground and curse your name You can call me crazy, scream it through the town But truth is patient, and it’s gonna bring you down
