Noir_x - Prayers Upon Deaf Ears_x Lyrics

We were born into the world seeing nothing but good
Over time, we realize everything we knew we misunderstood
The rules were made for fools, play by them you'll lose
With no one to provide the answers, what will you do
I can hear the Devil's laughter when my progress pushed backwards
Looked in a mirror for an answer in an instant it shattered
Blood on my fingertips tryna piece together the fragments
Seems the universe in balance, when my life a disaster
Life a test you got to fail just to get the true answer
Inhaling nicotine clouds ain't too much worried bout cancer
Telling myself these lies as I pop these opiate pills
Like when it kick in I'll find the happiness I felt as a kid
Time supposed to heal the scars accumulated through years
My heart bleeding still, my prayers fell upon deaf ears
The permanence of my pain reflected in the tattoos on my skin
Fatigue in my arms fighting the war with the world and the war that's within
I'm short of breath, blood on fists, as sweat drip from my chin
Pride telling me don't give in, you can't lose, they can't win
As I'm enduring every hit, I'm questioning my own strength
But no one seems to notice as Earth continue to spin
Calm waters don't make a good sailor
When tides are rough and lightening fills the sky they become greater
When life applies pressure, will you become spineless
Or withstand the dark times and let pressure make a diamond
If hell didn't exist, we would take heaven for granted
The presence of angels would be average, tribulations bring balance
The cost of life is pain, wisdom is collateral damage
Gratitude for your inner demons should be established
In times of adversity friends and hope, both seem to vanish
Born alone, die alone, it's room for one in a casket
Born into a world with conditions we ain't choose
We all walk a different path but judged by the shoes
You can choose growth or stay stagnant, no sympathy for an excuse
Yo tears hold no value, take them to the bank see what they give you
The truth a hard pill to swallow but I'm a pop me a few
The more my pupils dilate, shit the clearer my view
A tree can only bear fruit due to its roots
Just cause you start in the mud don't think success impossible for you
Develop a vision, trust that process, see it through
Put no one's needs before your own if they can't do the same for you
In the darkest of shadows will you find truth
To obtain it, be brave enough to endure solitude
Live for no one else, this life is your own
A King and Queen sit side by side, but occupy individual thrones

We were born into the world seeing nothing but good
Over time, we realize everything we knew we misunderstood
The rules were made for fools, play by them you'll lose
With no one to provide the answers, what will you do
I can hear the Devil's laughter when my progress pushed backwards
Looked in a mirror for an answer in an instant it shattered
Blood on my fingertips tryna piece together the fragments
Seems the universe in balance, when my life a disaster
Life a test you got to fail just to get the true answer
Inhaling nicotine clouds ain't too much worried bout cancer
Telling myself these lies as I pop these opiate pills
Like when it kick in I'll find the happiness I felt as a kid
Time supposed to heal the scars accumulated through years
My heart bleeding still, my prayers fell upon deaf ears
The permanence of my pain reflected in the tattoos on my skin
Fatigue in my arms fighting the war with the world and the war that's within
I'm short of breath, blood on fists, as sweat drip from my chin
Pride telling me don't give in, you can't lose, they can't win
As I'm enduring every hit, I'm questioning my own strength
But no one seems to notice as Earth continue to spin
