Lyrics to The Cost To Stay

I bite my tongue until it bleeds
What you call love, I call deceit
I kept the peace so perfectly
There was nothing left of me
Self-erasure
Disguised as harmony
Sanding down the edges
Filing off what makes me
Ignoring truth for a truce
Until I'm buried
Every thought I never say
Is another part that I gave away
This is what it costs to stay
Turn your world into a cage
I'm building bars with every sorry I burn
The cost to stay
If calm means disappearing
Is it calm or just defeat?
If love means constant shrinking
Is that love or just dеceit?
When self-еrasure
Becomes the way to harmony
Then self-destruction
Becomes what you will see
Self-destruction
This is what it costs to stay
Turn your world into a cage
I'm building bars with every sorry I burn
The cost to stay
Hold your breath so we can breathe
Hear the suffocating peace
I'm building bars with every sorry I burn
The cruelest chains go unseen
Invisible chains
And a quiet cage
The cost to stay
Self-destruction
I don't need another war
But I can't survive this ceasefire
I'd rather face the fire
Than slowly disappear
Disappear
This is what it costs to stay
Turn your world into a cage
I'm building bars with every sorry I burn
The cost to stay
Hold your breath so we can breathe
Hear the suffocating peace
I'm building bars with every sorry I burn
The cruelest chains go unseen
I bite my tongue until it bleeds
What you call love, I call deceit
