[chorus] [female] You twist the knife But I take the fall Somehow I’m always the one to lose it all You fucked my life You took my pride 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 fucked my life You took my pride 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 fucked my life You took my pride 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 fucked my life (You fucked my liiiiife) You took my pride (You took my pride) But still I stay (STAAAAAAYYY!!!!) Do you even see the monster you’ve made? The monster you’ve made (You’ve maaaade!!) (You made)

[Instrumental]

[Verse] In the cold north woods they ride, red coats and blue Chasing shadows in the night, but their hearts ain't true With a badge and a gun, they think they rule the land But justice ain't a notion they understand [Verse 2] For the ones who lived here long before their rise The Mounties bring no peace, just a web of lies With land stolen and promises never kept It's a bitter truth that we won't forget [Chorus] Oh, the red coats in blue, what’s the color of hate? Riding high and mighty, but the hour's late For every life they've broken and every child’s tear One day the truth will finally be clear [Verse 3] They're marching in the towns, hands heavy with the chains Of policies and papers stained with old remains And the echoes of the elders speak so loud and clear Saying "We remember every fallen here" [Verse 4] The rivers cry out, and the forests know their name For the crimes they’ve done, they've only shame to claim But the spirit of the land will hold them to account For the wounds they've left, for the numbers that mount [Chorus] Oh, the red coats in blue, what’s the color of hate? Riding high and mighty, but the hour's late For every life they've broken and every child’s tear One day the truth will finally be clear
