Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] Teeth in the branches Blood on the crawl Every step forward Another small fall [Verse 1] Crown of rusted needles Pressed into my veins Vines coil like shackles Naming me in stains Black sap kisses knuckles Skin peels back in rows Each thorn takes a memory Each cut Another home [Pre-Chorus] Twisted Snarled They circle They snare I pull They answer With strips of my prayer [Chorus] Thorns that sting and bite Drinking down the light Tearing Ripping Feeding slow Let the broken red river flow Thorns that sting and bite They want bone They want fight I drag myself through spite For these thorns that drink the light [Verse 2] Barbs hooked in the tendons Ripping old scars wide Hear the fabric shudder As they burrow inside Branches grin with splinters Tongues of jagged bark Every lash a sermon On how to love the dark [Pre-Chorus] Twisted Snarled They circle They snare I pull They answer With pieces of my prayer [Chorus] [Bridge] [low vocal register] Let them feast Let them flay Carve my fear Root it away [growled vocals] If pain is the price For pulling through this grave Then wrap me in barbs I will learn to misbehave [crescendo] [Chorus]

metal, Grinding dark metal with dropped-tuned guitars in D, tremolo-picked riffs over a relentless double-kick. Male vocals roar in the verses, shifting to a venomous half-sung hook with gang shouts on key phrases. Dissonant harmonized leads snake through the pre-chorus; bridge collapses into a chug-heavy breakdown with pinched squeals and tom-heavy fills, then a final all-out blast to the end.
