The Lens I See You Through

[chorus] [female] You twist the knife But I take the fall Somehow I’m always the one to lose it all You took my pride Ruined my life But still I stay Do you even see the monster you’ve made? [rap] [male] Every time you kiss me, your presence holds me firm But every time I miss you, I know my feelings aren’t returned You pull me from the ashes just to sit and watch me burn Cause every scar’s a lesson that you know I’ll never learn Your love is a ghost, haunting everything I do I’m always reaching out, but you’re just slipping through, My fingers like I’m reaching for sand in a tide, Grasping for the pieces, but never to find. I know you’ll always leave me and I’m just wasting my time, So I just take another sip and fill the page with these rhymes You’re fading like the shadows, you’re slipping away, boy, But I keep chasing ghosts, I guess that’s what I was made for [chorus] [female] You twist the knife But I take the fall Somehow I’m always the one to lose it all You took my pride Ruined my life But still I stay Do you even see the monster you’ve made? You’ve made [rap] [male] Remember back in high school you would always hold my hand? But your love was a trap, it pulled me in like quicksand You said you’d always love me and you’d always be my fan But I was only just a stranger, never part of your plan You built me up so high, just to watch me crash land Left me searching for the pieces of the person that I am Now I’m stranded in the wasteland where you used to stand Never free, still a puppet to your every command [bridge] [female] And honestly, it’s bad for me, this poison I adore Cause even though you’re killing me, I’ll keep coming back for more [buildup] [female] Ooooh Ooooohhhh [chorus] [female] You twist the knife But I take the fall Somehow I’m always the one to lose it all You took my pride Ruined my life But still I stay Do you even see the monster you’ve made? The monster you’ve made [chorus] [female and male] You twist the knife (YOU TWIST THE KNIFE!!) But I take the fall (I always take the fall) Somehow I’m always the one to lose it all (LOSE IT ALL!!!) You took my pride (You took my pride) Ruined my life (Ruined my liiiiife) But still I stay (STAAAAAAYYY!!!!) Do you even see the monster you’ve made? The monster you’ve made (You’ve maaaade!!) (You made) [outro] [male and female] You twist the knife (YOU TWIST THE KNIFE!!) But I take the fall (I always take the fall) Somehow I’m always the one to lose it all

[Verse] Neon lights they paint the night City whispers hold me tight Floating on this silver crest Dreams are heavy hearts at rest [Verse 2] Stars are dancing in my eyes Lost within the morning rise Echoes chase the dawn's embrace Waking in a sacred space [Chorus] Close your eyes and see the way Colors bend and shadows play Dreams of silver dreams of gold Stories waiting to be told [Verse 3] Moonlight drips like liquid glass Time it lingers it won't pass Whispers call out softly near Midnight secrets disappear [Verse 4] Feel the pulse of twilight's glow In the stillness let it flow Bound by threads of fleeting time Every heartbeat speaks in rhyme [Bridge] Hold the night with gentle hands Turn the hourglass sands Serenade of cosmic drift Dreams are love's eternal gift
