[Verse 1]
Teeth grind
Tongue tastes rust
Boot prints
Stomp my trust
You preach
With your hands around my throat
Cheap grace
Stuffed down
Made to choke
[Chorus]
You built your throne on my back
Brick by brick
All my cracks
I won’t die under your weight
I am the splinter in your faith
[Verse 2]
Cold eyes
Count each bruise
Sharp lies
Dress up abuse
You smile
While you twist the blame again
Your crown
Is a ring of nails in skin
[Chorus]
You built your throne on my back
Brick by brick
All my cracks
I won’t die under your weight
I am the splinter in your faith
[Breakdown]
Bite down
On the hand that breaks you (break!)
Spit blood
In the face that made you
Say my shame
Say my name
Hear it turn
Into flame
I won’t bow
I won’t break
Feel your kingdom
Start to quake
[Chorus]
You built your throne on my back
Brick by brick
All my cracks
I won’t die under your weight
I am the splinter in your faith
The crack that opens up your gate
