The Rival

We never fail to fall
We never learn to read the marks on this world
We never fail to fall
So I'll just turn the page

Restless
Beneath the weight of this madness
Like a dress rehearsal for death
I lie in red and black

So steel yourself for where you go
No map has marked but even so
You can't turn back or shield your eyes
From villains walking in disguise

We who ought to crawl have learned to fly

Who we are is all we've known
But there's more if you let go
So we turn the page
A rival now, I'll bring your walls to the ground
But you can't move until you let it go
Turn the page
I'll light it up and burn it down to the ground
But you can't move until you let it go

Dark days torn straight from our deathbeds
Sorrows like burdens of silence
Anguish of the inevitable
We turn away and face the dawn

You know not what lurks at every turn
The things you've seen you can't unlearn
Watch closely for imposters
For down here there be monsters

Who we are is all we've known
But there's more if you let go
So we turn the page
A rival now, I'll bring your walls to the ground
But you can't move until you let it go
Turn the page
I'll light it up and burn it down to the ground
But you can't move until you let it go

Life flies, closed eyes, I'm not sleeping tonight
Feels like a ghost always slipping from sight
When I'm alone I let my mind roam free but it's always my demise

I've broken the silence
I've challenged the giants
I'm letting go so I can turn the page
So put on your brave face
Spill blood for a new fate
I'm letting go so I can turn the page

We turn the page
A rival now, I'll bring your walls to the ground
But you can't move until you let it go
Turn the page
A rival now, I'll bring your walls to the ground
But you can't move until you let it go
Turn the page
I'll light it up and burn it down to the ground
But you can't move until you let it go
