Lyric

DEAD INSIDE

The Cards I Play

Come and say it to my face

Two-faced when you talk so you act out

Runnin that mouth for the crowd tryna cash out

Fake friends turned to ghosts man I lost count

5,6,7 - better walk before I crash out

Uh, watchu sayin? Whatchu talkin about?

Uh, why you actin so friendly now?

Back then you wouldn’t ride in my lane

And now my pockets feelin’ heavy

You got somethin’ to say?

When I stack the gold

See you calling my phone again

Face to face

Now you all in my zone again

I spit the rhythm now they begging for more again

I’ve set my place

Don’t you come at my way

Cuz you’re

DEAD INSIDE DEAD INSIDE

When you crawl and play pretend

DEAD INSIDE DEAD INSIDE

Don’t you call my name again

DEAD INSIDE DEAD INSIDE

See the lies under your skin

DEAD INSIDE DEAD INSIDE

Now your mask is wearing thin

クズはしらばくれてcool looking

バカでも真面目ぶる

魔法はビビデバビデブー

ってわけで皆手あげてく

てなことではないこの世の中

まだまだやり足りないから

バカ騒ぎは後回しにしてスタンドアップ

ゲットアップあそこまでガンダ

My face down now I rise up the deep

You better learn to keep up if you’re tryna compete cuz you’re

DEAD INSIDE DEAD INSIDE

When you crawl and play pretend

DEAD INSIDE DEAD INSIDE

Don’t you call my name again

DEAD INSIDE DEAD INSIDE

See the lies under your skin

DEAD INSIDE DEAD INSIDE

Now your mask is wearing thin

Say it to my face now!

Now I’m done with all the fake fake ties

This is how i exist

We livin proof, this is how you wanna go out and get it

I keep my head down, face down riding the flame

You little sucker, now you wanna be apart of the name

I’m lookin left to right

Alone with no soul

Behold, your fake “bros” dappin up for the show

I’ve shed my tears, all you do is play

So don’t talk to me

I’ll show you why you can’t compete cuz you’re

DEAD INSIDE DEAD INSIDE

When you crawl and play pretend

DEAD INSIDE DEAD INSIDE

Don’t you call my name again

DEAD INSIDE DEAD INSIDE

See the lies under your skin

DEAD INSIDE DEAD INSIDE

Now your mask is wearing thin

Artist Profile

  • The Cards I Play

    The Cards I Play is an alternative nu-metal band hailing from Tokyo, Japan. Since their formation in 2019, they have been carving out a distinct presence in Japan's heavy music scene, rapidly building momentum with their explosive sound and raw energy. Fusing the intensity of metalcore, the grit of nu-metal, and the attitude of hip hop, the band delivers a genre-bending sound that feels both cutting-edge and unmistakably their own - bold, unfiltered, and fiercely dynamic. 2024 marked a breakthrough year: they headlined their first-ever solo show and completed a nationwide headline tour, proving their draw as a live act. They also lit up the stage as the opening act at SiM's 'DEAD POP FESTiVAL' and joined UK heavyweights WHILE SHE SLEEPS as the guest act for their entire Japan tour. With buzz continuing to build, The Cards I Play are now gearing up for their biggest chapter yet - the release of their highly anticipated second full-length album later this year, followed by their first full-scale solo headline tour across Japan
