[Verse 1]
You talk about justice
like it cleans the slate
But blood on blood
just doubles the weight
One more grave
and the room stays cold
Same dark tally
same story told
[Pre-Chorus]
What do you win
when you mirror the knife?
One more loss
won’t make it right
[Chorus]
Same count, same count
same count in the world
Same count, same count
when the hurt gets hurled
Kill a murderer
and the number stays
Same count, same count
that’s the price we pay (same count)
[Verse 2]
A hand on the trigger
can feel like relief
But grief don’t vanish
it changes its seat
You can call it mercy
you can call it fate
Still one more name
gets added to the weight
[Pre-Chorus]
What do you win
when you mirror the knife?
One more loss
won’t make it right
[Chorus]
Same count, same count
same count in the world
Same count, same count
when the hurt gets hurled
Kill a murderer
and the number stays
Same count, same count
that’s the price we pay (same count)
[Bridge]
If you want the floor to stop
you break the chain
Not one more body
to carry the pain
Let the hand drop
let the blame burn out
There’s no clean ending
in a scream and shout
[Final Chorus]
Same count, same count
same count in the world
Same count, same count
when the hurt gets hurled
Kill a murderer
and the number stays
Same count, same count
that’s the price we pay (same count)
