[Intro]
In shadows we dance, whispering lies,
A friendship forged on embers that rise.
A smile reveals a venomous sting,
In heartbeats that echo, the danger they bring.
[Verse 1]
Promises painted in neon light,
They call you brother in the dead of night.
With diamonds and dreams, they pull you in close,
But the price of affection is more than a ghost.
[Pre-Chorus]
They talk of freedom, of living it well,
But drip by drip, they’re weaving a spell.
In the air thick with smoke, innocence fades,
A facade of friendship, a game that they played.
[Chorus]
Oh, drug dealers act as friends,
With a smile that breaks and bends,
They’ll take your light, your joy, your soul,
In the shadows, they’re stealing control.
[Bridge]
With every hit, you spiral down,
Listening to the lies, you wear a crown.
The laughter turns bitter, a hollow cheer,
You’re surrounded by friends, yet you live in fear.
[Verse 2]
Late night confessions, the heart heavy burdened,
Whispers in alleys, truths slowly discerned.
The cost of affection, a toll that you pay,
When you think they’re your saviors, they lead you astray.
[Pre-Chorus]
They speak of freedom, of living it well,
But hidden behind is a method of hell.
Trust traded for shadows, the echoes of pain,
In the depths of their laughter, there's nothing to gain.
[Chorus]
Oh, drug dealers act as friends,
With a smile that breaks and bends,
They’ll take your light, your joy, your soul,
In the shadows, they’re stealing control.
[Outro]
So beware the smile that's too bright and wide,
For behind it lurks where the darkness resides.
When friends become foes, in silence they creep,
In the wake of betrayal, know this: tread deep.
