Book Of My Life

[Verse 1]
Dog-eared days
Spine cracked
Black ink run thin
Every corner folded
Where the bad parts begin
Silver teeth in the margins
Tiny shadows in the light
Every sentence chewed open
Like my will to fight
[Chorus]
The silverfish are eating the pages in the book of my life
Bites taken out like my will to fight
Line by line
They hollow me white
Still I keep on turning
Turning
Through this parasite night
[Verse 2]
Loose leaf prayers
Scattered on a bedroom floor
Every promise half-erased
Every year a little more
They crawl through the chapters
Through the stains and the spite
Leave nothing but the paper
And the hunger inside
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Tell me
When they get to the end
What’s left of the man in the spine?
Just a cover with a name
And a blank
Brittle line
[guitar solo]
[Chorus]

metal, Groovy mid-tempo 90s metal with detuned, chugging guitars and a grimy bass locked to a stomping kit. Male vocals snarl in the verses, opening to a shout-along gang-chant chorus. Pinch harmonic squeals punctuate riffs; bridge drops to half-time with eerie clean guitar before slamming back full throttle. Vocals sit upfront, dry and aggressive, with thick doubled hooks in the choruses.
