[Verse 1: Johnny Capece]
It's hard to move with someone standing on your shoulders
And their weight anchors you down
Worse than chains ever could
I can't tread water this deep
I'm gasping for air you stole from me
I try to be so surprised when all you do is take and take and take
The seas we struggled through left us in two different worlds
Sink the ship, jump into another one
Leave me with a cinderblock to save myself
[Hook: Michael Vann]
Ever omniscient, we may believe
Veiled, our eyes wide, we are deceived
[Verse 2: Johnny Capece]
You had them all fooled, those masks you wear
Crowning yourself as a king
Own me with debts for leverage to wage favors for favors we'll never reclaim
Knives in our backs with our faces in the trenches
Blood drains into mud
Friendly unfriendliness grows so old
Shatter the crown, and show you for what you really are
The seas we struggled through left us in two different worlds
Sink the ship, jump into another one - leave us with nothing to save ourselves
The seas we struggled through let us see two different worlds
Sink the ship, run away, just turn around
Leaving us all at the bottom
[Hook: Michael Vann & Johnny Capece]
Ever, omniscient, we may believe
Veiled, our eyes wide, we are deceived
[Bridge: Johnny Capece]
We are deceived
[Interlude: Michael Vann]
Ever omniscient, we may believe
Veiled, our eyes wide, we are deceived
We see our true selves, this is a dream
A beautiful dream, a terror unseen
[Solo: Nishad George]
[Hook: Michael Vann & Johnny Capece]
Ever omniscient
(Brothers, omniscient)
We may believe
Veiled, our eyes wide
We are Deceived
We are…
