Lyrics
Two scars run deep in the bones of this street
Mine carved in duty, yours carved in deceit
We bled from the same knife fate pressed to our side
I built up a wall while you opened it wide
I carried the ache so the children could sleep
You sharpened your smile and made sorrow run deep
We both knew the cost of a world gone insane
I sealed up the wound while you salted the pain
I stand where the weak need a shield in the fray
You stand where the screams turn the night into play
We walked through the same storm, we carried the blame
But I drew the line - We are not the same
You wanted the world to bleed from your pain
So you gave out your ruin like smoke in the rain
I wanted the world to survive what I saw
So I forged my grief into order and law
Your footsteps leave carnage wherever you go
Mine haunt every rooftop and alley below
You call us twin souls in a war-torn game
But pain made me a guard, while it made you a flame
I stand where the weak need a shield in the fray
You stand where the screams turn the night into play
We walked through the same storm, we carried the blame
But I drew the line - We are not the same
You call me your mirror, your rival, your brother
A ghost in the wreckage, a mask like no other
No crown waits for either when darkness has won
No choir will rise when the last breath is done
I stand where the weak need a shield in the fray
You stand where the screams turn the night into play
We walked through the same storm, we carried the blame
But I drew the line - We are not the same
And when we both fall in this endless war game
They'll curse you in cheers โ but remember my name
