The Illusion of LoyaltyWe swore on our lives, we reached for the sky,Sharing the struggle, the bread, and the night.But time moved along, and the truth became a lie,The smile of a brother hides a blade out of sight.Trust fades away when the money gets tight,The secrets of yesterday are the weapons of tonight.Money and SuccessThe smell of the green made 'em spin, made 'em switch,Jealousy burning through the bonds we made deep.For a couple of dead presidents, they switch up the pitch,The looks in their eyes getting cold, getting cheap.You learn what they're worth when you're making it big,When betrayal is the price for the grave that they dig. The Scar and the SilenceThe worst part of the war is the ghost of the past,Opening your heart to the one who cuts it slow.You never really heal from a shadow that is cast,When the deepest wound comes from your alter ego.Nothing left but the silence to make the pain pass,And the hate carved in skin like a broken glass.The Comeback / No New FriendsNow I walk on my own, put my guard in the air,Cut the dead wood away, yeah, I cleared out the space.No more faking the love, no more acting like you care,I see through the smoke, I remember every face.They sold out the fam for a piece of the cake,But the lesson is learned: never trust what is fake.
