[Verse]
Steel-toed boots stompin' on the pavement,
Crack in the skyline, split the engravement.
City bleeds smoke, I'm the antidote,
Grit in my teeth, got fire in my throat.
Fist full of venom, heart full of lead,
Thoughts ricochet, echo in my head.
Concrete jungle, where the wild don't sleep,
Reaper in the shadows, promises I keep.
[Chorus]
Here comes the painkiller, burn through the fog,
Dragging my chains, but I’m breaking the cog.
Here comes the painkiller, watch the flames grow,
Ain’t no escape when the wrath starts to flow.
[Verse 2]
Blood on the moon, it's a crimson grin,
Wolves in the alleys, howling for the sin.
Toxic in my veins, poison in my grin,
Game of survival, I was built to win.
Thunder in my step, storm in my chest,
Nightmare walking, I don’t need rest.
Hunted by the silence, haunted by the screams,
Every scar a memory, every tear a dream.
[Bridge]
The devil took a seat, said, "Boy, you're late,"
I lit a cigarette, said, "I dictate fate."
Life's a crooked dealer, hand me the deck,
I shuffle my losses, cash out respect.
