Overexposure

(album: The Ghost Inside - 2020)

What a shame just another hopeless case
You wouldn't hear it if I screamed it in your face

I find no comfort in a crowd of thieves
You can't lie to yourself, there is no glory in dishonesty
Do you know who you are? The hero or the victim?
Neither one applies
The blind follow the blind
I can cover my eyes and still see through you

Is this the hand you wanna play?

You don't know the difference from what you want and what you deserve
When it all comes crashing down can you back up every word you've said?
Yeah we all fall down, yeah we all fall down but I won't relive it
So show me your best and I'll show you the difference

Fingers crossed behind your back
A coward's tale from a liars tongue
True colors in the darkest shade of black
Your world will come undone

We'll see how hollow you are when the time comes
Your world will come undone
You'll know you're in it too far when the tide comes
Your world will come undone

When every dagger and every scar
Comes back at you tenfold
We'll see who you really are

Is this the hand you wanna play?

You don't know the difference from what you want and what you deserve
When it all comes crashing down can you back up every word you've said?
Yeah we all fall down, yeah we all fall down but I won't relive it
So show me your best and I'll show you the difference

This is the death of compassion
Free from the poison in your blood
A self-inflicted sickness
That pulls the air out of your lungs
You'll find a fate worse than death
In the grave you have dug for another
But I stand on solid ground
I won't let you pull me under

I won't let you pull me under
I won't let you pull me under

This is the death of compassion
Free from the poison in your blood
A self-inflicted sickness
That pulls the air out of your lungs
You'll find a fate worse than death
In the grave you have dug for another
But I stand on solid ground
I won't let you pull me under

You don't know the difference from what you want and what you deserve
When it all comes crashing down can you back up every word you've said?
Yeah we all fall down, yeah we all fall down but I won't relive it
So show me your best and I'll show you the difference

Show me your best and I'll show you the difference
