Lyrics

We build the walls, we light the flame
Then curse the smoke, but take no blame
We write the rules then twist the game
And wonder why it ends the same

Pointing fingers in a shattered glass
No one’s first and no one is last

It’s not the beast beneath your bed
Not the ghosts inside our heads
It’s the hands that holds the knife
And call it love and sacrifice
We’ve made the monster you can’t see
It’s always you, it’s always me
People are the enemy
And still we choose to be

We pray for peace with clenched-up fists
And sell our souls for hollow bliss
They carve our names on sacred stones
And let wounded die alone
Don’t look away from what you are
A fallen flame a broken star

t’s not the beast beneath your bed
Not the ghosts inside our heads
It’s the hands that holds the knife
And call it love and sacrifice
We’ve made the monster you can’t see
It’s always you, it’s always me
People are the enemy
And still we choose to be

You treat me with your treason
You give me no damn reason

t’s not the beast beneath your bed
Not the ghosts inside our heads
It’s the hands that holds the knife
And call it love and sacrifice
We’ve made the monster you can’t see
It’s always you, it’s always me
People are the enemy
And still we choose to be
