Faster Than Silence

I see that grin blue blur on parade

You preach keep moving like pain is a phase

I call it weakness to hide what I feel

But when the world goes cold you're first on the steel

I mock your light so it won't find me

I laugh at hope till it blinds me

I walk the edge forged by the night

If you go dark I'll carry the light

I take the hit just don't run now

Step for step no need to bow

Rival is a language we learned to survive

Truth is the reason we're both still alive

I'm not your enemy

I'm not your mirror

We're the same storm from different rivers

You're more than the mask you built for the pain

I'm more than the grin I wear in the rain

If they call you weapon and call me wind

We'll be the thunder that drowns that din

If speed can't carry everything we lift

Side by side we are the gift

I'm not your enemy

I'm not your mirror

We're the same storm from different rivers

You're more than the mask you built for the pain

I'm more than the grin I wear in the rain

If they call me weapon and call you wind

We'll be the thunder that drowns that din

If speed can't carry everything we lift

Side by side we are the gift

I joke I race I skate past the cracks

I keep the world from seeing my tracks

You were born in glass but outran the past

Proof that a lab made fate doesn't last

I hide the fear beneath a brighter tone

But when you're here I'm not alone

You're more than a rival when I'm falling apart

More than a scowl you're a midnight star

And I'm more than a punchline more than my pace

Not just a hero I'm a heart with a face

If speed can't carry everything we lift

Side by side we are the gift

I walk the edge forged by the night

If you go dark I'll carry the light

I take the hit just don't run now

Step for step no need to bow

Rival is a language we learned to survive

Truth is the reason we're both still alive

I'm not your enemy

I'm not your mirror

We're the same storm from different rivers

You're more than the mask you built for the pain

I'm more than the grin I wear in the rain

If they call you weapon and call me wind

We'll be the thunder that drowns that din

If speed can't carry everything we lift

Side by side we are the gift

I'm not your enemy

I'm not your mirror

We're the same storm from different rivers

You're more than the mask you built for the pain

I'm more than the grin I wear in the rain

If they call you weapon and call me wind

We'll be the thunder that drowns that din

If speed can't carry everything we lift

Side by side we are the gift
