[Verse 1]
Birth right
I'm standing in silence
Holding on for dear life
Reprimend acquired
Ignorant to my compliance
Hold tight
It's getting too violent
Rince into the moonlight
Find a way to hide it
Leading myself to defiance
[Pre-Chorus]
Who am I? Who am I?
But a slave to the lie
It's my dangerous mind
Under the skin of my darkest white (Yeah)
Who are you? Who are you?
But a slave to the news
There's a side to choose
See it disguise with no will to lose
[Chorus]
White clouds in the sky
Yet the world around me makеs them cry
Black clouds by the moon
Therе's a righteous world inside of you
[Verse 2]
Hope forces
Making a division
Blinded by the state and religion
I'm asking themselves

Encore's full
Finding ways to listen
All I see is lakes and the rivers
Flooding themselves
I'm seeing both side's on a mission
[Pre-Chorus]
Who am I? Who am I?
But a slave to the lie
It's my dangerous mind
Under the skin of my darkest white (Yeah)
Who are you? Who are you?
But a slave to the news
There's a side to choose
See it disguise with no will to lose
[Chorus]
White clouds in the sky
Yet the world around me makes them cry
Black clouds by the moon
There's a righteous world inside of you
[Outro]
There's a righteous world inside of you
There's a righteous world inside of you
There's a righteous world inside of you
