[Verse] Smoke curls slow in the kitchen light, Cards on the table, both of us in the fight. You said I cheated, I said you’re blind, The kettle screams like it’s on the line. [Pre-Chorus] Fingers tense, the silence burns, A game we don’t even care to win. Blood in the blood, we don’t back down, But the steam’s rising, and we’re not on the same town. [Chorus] We fight like brothers, we fall like fire, Cards in hand, but the truth’s the liar. The kettle boils, the world stands still, We’re locked in this fight, but we can’t kill. Brothers in flame, we’re torn in two— One wrong move, and the whole thing’s through. The kettle boils, the truth’s in the steam, We’re bound by blood, but not by dream. [Verse] Ace of spades, you’re too sharp, I say, You’re pulling strings in the shadowed fray. But I see you—your eyes, the same old pain, Just like when we were kids in the rain. [Pre-Chorus] Fingers tense, the silence burns, A game we don’t even care to win. Blood in the blood, we don’t back down, But the steam’s rising, and we’re not on the same town. [Chorus] We fight like brothers, we fall like fire, Cards in hand, but the truth’s the liar. The kettle boils, the world stands still, We’re locked in this fight, but we can’t kill. Brothers in flame, we’re torn in two— One wrong move, and the whole thing’s through. The kettle boils, the truth’s in the steam, We’re bound by blood, but not by dream. [Bridge] No peace in the hands, no grace in the stare, Just echoes of what we used to share. But the kettle’s still singing, low and deep— A sound we both know, when the war’s not what we keep. [Chorus] We fight like brothers, we fall like fire, Cards in hand, but the truth’s the liar. The kettle boils, the world stands still, We’re locked in this fight, but we can’t kill. Brothers in flame, we’re torn in two— One wrong move, and the whole thing’s through. The kettle boils, the truth’s in the steam, We’re bound by blood, but not by dream. [Outro] The kettle boils… We’re bound by blood… But not by dream.
