The Scheme

A smile too sharp words too sweet

A game in motion but I can't see the deceit

No shadow without light no lie without trust

A brother's betrayal is a blade in the dust

The pieces don't fit the puzzle feels wrong

The rhythm between us has lost its song

A deal in the dark whispers behind doors

I'm standing alone while he's counting the scores

Loyalty's a mask he wears with no shame

I played by the code but he's rigged the game

The brother I trusted is playing his part

The dagger he wields is aimed at my heart
