LYRICS:
Nemesis, my dearly neurotic
Enemies, though our face is the same
Your greedy hands held my happiness hostage
I will carry you to the grave
Nemesis, this time I'll finish it
Break me down, over and over
Blood for blood, I'll cut you out with
The knife you cowardly left in my back.
Never again
I’d rather die than keep you alive
Do you believe in me now?
Laugh as I lower you down
No funeral, no condolences
You shot our plot full of holes
And nailed our twin casket closed
I found my life in your cause of death
I know that you hate me but need my protection
An awful reflection of what’s taken place
Born out of trauma, and lost in the drama,
I've been here the whole time to keep you safe
You can try, (but) you know that you need me
Enemies, though we’re one in the same
(I) killed you off in the name of survival
But I am not to blame
Do you believe in me now?
Laugh as you lower me down
No funeral, no condolences
(So say goodbye)
You shot our plot full of holes
And nailed our twin casket closed
You found your life in my cause of death
Enmeshed in our design
Judgements collide
A cruel invention, despite good intentions,
The damage has been done
Liar
Two faced
A cruel invention, despite good intentions, can we be forgiven?
Is it too late for us now?
Could history be rewound?
Is there no chance to make amends?
And as this story unfolds
My book began where yours closed
A sign of life in your cause of death
I was your cause of death
No hope, no time
Can’t go back, can’t rewind
I still belong to you
No hope, no time
Can’t go back, can’t rewind
You still belong to me
You were my sign of life and I was your cause of death

3:10 Goosebumps from that moment when Chris raises his voice higher 3 times on the word "deeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEATH" and you can hear it further in the background of Ricky's clear vocals.

[@ahmetugurunler3123]

I cum this part

[@keithybear804]

When he says make AMENDS!!! The best

[@Deaths_reach]

Makes me think that Chris's vocal is death trying to drown the words of the dead person that death is trying to kill but the person aka Ricky is evading death and in that part death has had enough and goes full demon and finally takes the person's soul

[@leileiyam]

Motionless in White gives me butterflies in my stomach

[@llamamagaming]

Very Periphery like

[@asce5225]

This right here at 3:00 is brutal as fuck, but this high note from chris here 3:17 that keeps going and then Ricky starts singing oh my gosh gives me goosebumps

[@xXIn5aneClownxX]

I was blown away when Ricky started singing. It is beautiful and just cuts the heartstrings even more

one of the best songs on the album, i love the heavy side of MIW, the chorus reminds me of the album "creatures" mixed with reincarnate🔥

[@CJThaGreat17]

3:16 - 3:48 has some of the most beautiful harmonies/melodies in metalcore history! Easily my fav and what I believe to be the best song on the album! I watched one of my exes turn into everything she and I hate when she broke up with me 3 months ago, and she died a figurative death. For me? I have found new life in her poor decision making of letting me ago amongst all the other choices she has made Thank you so much MIW for making genuine music with deep meaning and inspiration behind it. Love you guys, and all of you other fans!

[@nightmareriders4441]

Agreed

[@philspencer615]

Awesome post

[@johnny44937]

Who u telling imagine watching your ex turn into the one thing u hated imagine she doing things for other guys u wanted to Imagine rn she fucking the leech that ruined our relationship But whatever im controlling and needy even though she was needy first and i didnt have a problem cause i loved her Crazy

I don't understand why this has not been played live yet. Best song on the album

[@endar2401]

From my experiences like 2/3 of the best songs don't get played at live shows by the bands I like. There's just too many songs unless the band is new.

[@leroylombard9695]

I agree hey I really wanna see Ricky sing most of this song live

[@cebtk_]

Is it me or there is an air of "Eternally Yours" at the beginning ? I love it

[@keithtyler8477]

Yes my thought immediately!!

[@maxwellfrost9701]

Same keyboard tone as Sick From The Melt

[@hybridwolf55]

Such an unexpected favorite from this album! And as always, Ricky's beautiful singing elevates it.

[@Leaveittobeaver13]

Damn the lyrics are just soo damn good. I thought the vocal melody sounded a lot like Cyberhex when I first listened but after seeing the the lyrics and reading along. I am sold. This album is fucking fire. Good stuff right here

[@antihumankind]

the lyrics ache the heart, mostly the ending

[@Leaveittobeaver13]

Sign of life almost had me cry yesterday. I could here the emotion through his voice. Phenomenal Vocalist 👨🏼‍🎤

[@antihumankind]

@@Leaveittobeaver13 totally agreed, felt the same way

[@Le_Grand_Corbeau666]

Ok I'm sad now cause this song makes me realize how closely you can be to someone that you simply cannot do otherwise than cry or think of it as a book only to realise that both are in the same casket...

I think Ricky is singing here too,I love him and Crhis as a duo,I appreciate them adding Ricky to the songs Like this one,and voices synthwave and from the grave too Like HEAVEN MIW are just angels sent from heaven to bless us with their amazing music I swear I hope they go down in history forever

[@adibazfar2512]

Yeah, i heard Ricky sang too

Ricky did sing, definitely in the last part.

[@kiciarozek8091]

I love How different ,but at same time similar ,are the vibes in this album. Fucking great job

[@cloudsss1755]

This album came out at the perfect time. I got left for another guy the day this came out so I really needed this rn. Miw coming in so clutch for me. Its keeping me calm and grounded. Even stopped me from ending it. I am truly greatful for this

[@kristamoody5011]

Music has been my life saver for years

It's so hard for me to pick a favorite song off of this album, but this might be it

[@macsifg2]

3:16 till the end is absolutely a tear jerker thank you miw 🙌🏻🔥🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@selenicamusic]

This, Burned At Both Ends II, and Corpse Nation, and Meltdown are absolutely amazing.

[@slipknotmaggot666m8]

After listening to the album I'm convinced those are the only good songs on here

[@slipknotmaggot666m8]

@@selenicamusic eh I personally just wasn't impressed with the album. Yeah. But credit to where credit is do the album is good I just prefer heavier music like old school metalcore, deathcore

[@selenicamusic]

[@Andrewgeo]

Bro I can’t decide on a favorite cause everything in the album is amazing 😭 But I think I’m tilting A TINY BIT MORE to this one. Fuck it’s so hard to pick one.

[@boof0569sm]

Why must there be a favorite, why can't we just love them all equally. Lol

[@jeremy7356]

"I killed you off in the name of survival, but i am not the one to blame" honestly never heard lyrics so true

[@metalh3adqueen]

3:40 "You were my sign of life and I was your cause of death" why does no one talk about this part? Motionless has some very deep lyrics in general, but this might be one of the deepest and saddest lines ever. Very relatable, goes right under my skin.

[@totalannihilationfitness6473]

It’s my favorite part so you’re not alone.

[@Encyledus]

It's also quite literally referencing another song on this album, sick way of connecting things together!

[@ThanatosSD]

This is without a doubt my favourite track from this awesome album. It is heavy, has very delicate and heartbreaking moments and Chris vocals are on another level. Motionless In White never ceases to impress us with masterpieces \m/

Chris! You are amazing brother! Your writing and vocals is nothing short of amazing! I'm going through a divorce and this song is everything to me right now! You are truly on a whole nother level!

[@aamiw99]

This song somehow manages to sound a lot like Eternally Yours, Slaughterhouse, Masterpiece and mostly Cyberhex at the end, which are all so very different songs, while still managing to have its own clear identity. Only by MIW!

[@wasspgirl]

"no hope, no time, can't go back, can't rewind, I still belong to you"

[@shadow_of_death2022]

This is probably one of the best songs of the album and they're all good. Great song once you understand its meaning.

[@blaisenotpascal1052]

The beginning sounds a bit like disguise, chorus like cyberhex and some.other parts like hip to be scared by Ice Nine Kills

[@ner3224]

Yes, the beginning sounds like disguise, but it doesn't sound like hip to be scare at all

[@blaisenotpascal1052]

Same this song as well werewolf and corpse nation has some welcome to horrorwood vibes. Or perhaps it's just me playing INK on repeat- nonetheless this is quite an amazing album

No it sounds like Cause of Death. Stop relating parts of a song to something else. Toxic trait.

[@slipknotmaggot666m8]

Finally a heavy song. I was almost scared that slaughterhouse was the only heavy song on here

[@joslinfisher]

Is it just me? Or did the Rock scene blow up with awesome new music. I like more bands at one time than I ever have. Pretty sure if I just randomly picked concerts I'd enjoy them all. The up and comers are really packing a punch too. I wanna know who else has noticed what's happening around us. Rock/Metal is NOT DEAD🎶☠️☠️
