[Verse]
One step forward, two back in the night
Shadow figures creeping, outta mind, outta sight
Smiles so sweet, venom drips on the tongue
Trust ain't a currency, better bite your lung
Snakes in the grass, hear the hiss in the wind
Wolves in disguise, sharp teeth under skin
Telling you secrets, but they hoarding the truth
Build you a palace, just to steal from the roof
[Chorus]
One eye open, I don't sleep no more
Back against the wall, hands clutch the door
One eye open, can't blink, can't trust
Dust settles slow, but the world turns to rust
[Verse 2]
Loyalty's a gamble, chips fall where they may
Hearts made of iron, watch ‘em rust and decay
Cards in their sleeves, jokers laugh in my face
Blueprint for betrayal, they just copy the trace
Whispers in the dark, they craft their lies
Mirrors in their pockets, reflections disguise
Feeding on the fear, parasites in my mind
But I’m ten steps ahead, can’t leave me blind
[Chorus]
One eye open, I don't sleep no more
Back against the wall, hands clutch the door
One eye open, can't blink, can't trust
Dust settles slow, but the world turns to rust
