[Verse]
Shadows crawl, streets whisper pain,
Concrete jungle, venom in the veins.
He trusted too much, now the trust decayed,
Heart locked tight, but the key's been played.
Told him "brother," but the words turned slack,
Smiling wide, knife to his back.
[Chorus]
Knife to his back, trust gone cold,
World too dark, no hand to hold.
Knife to his back, sharp and bold,
The story of love that got sold.
[Verse 2]
Hood's an echo, the past don't leave,
Scars on his chest, make it hard to breathe.
Soul on fire, but the ashes stay,
Friends turn Judas when the skies turn gray.
In a house of mirrors, no face intact,
Every reflection hides a knife to his back.
[Chorus]
Knife to his back, trust gone cold,
World too dark, no hand to hold.
Knife to his back, sharp and bold,
The story of love that got sold.
[Bridge]
Broken oaths, left to drown,
Fake smiles, hands reaching down.
Can’t tell the friend from the foe,
Even angels wear masks in the show.
[Chorus]
Knife to his back, trust gone cold,
World too dark, no hand to hold.
Knife to his back, sharp and bold,
The story of love that got sold.
