Imperfection - The Price We Pay Lyrics

Every choice we make, every road we tread
Leads us closer to the hole we've dug instead
You said it was easy, just follow your way
Now we're drowning in the mess we made

I can feel the weight of every mistake
Pulling me deeper with each step I take
No turning back, no escape from fate
We built our own cage - now it is too late

The price we pay is carved in stone
For every lie, for every throne
No redemption, no second chance
We sold our souls to circumstance
The price we pay is more than gold
It's our hearts turned black, our blood run cold

Thought we could fly, but we fell like rain
Chasing shadows, never breaking the chain
We were blind to the warnings, deaf to the screams
Now we're haunted by our shattered dreams

It's too late for sorrow, too late to pray
You can't outrun the debt you'll pay
Fools of desire, slaves to the flame
We forged our own shackles, now we bear the blame

The price we pay is carved in stone
For every lie, for every throne
No redemption, no second chance
We sold our souls to circumstance
The price we pay is more than gold
It's our hearts turned black, our blood run cold

You wanted power - now you bleed
You wanted freedom - now you're on your knees
There's no escape, no escape
We're chained to the choices we've made

We thought we were kings, but we're nothing but pawns
Caught in the game, every right turned wrong
We traded our lives for an empty crown
Now we wear the scars as we're sinking down

The price we pay is a twisted game
Where everything lost is drowned in shame
We thought we were gods, but we've fallen far
The price we pay is who we are
