[Verse 1]
Cold straps bite my wrists
Leather taste on my tongue
Buzzing lights above
Name and number spun
Photos on the table
Girls in frozen frames
Every stare a mirror
Every mirror says my name
[Chorus]
I burn in the chair of my own making
Hear my last plea
God
Can You take it
To the one that crawled out of my shadowed throat
Grant me grace
Grant me grace
But the silence starts to choke
[Verse 2]
Bleach sting in the hallway
Bootsteps
Distant
Slow
Priest recites a language
I pretended not to know
Your face in the witness glass
Eyeline sharp as wire
You don’t blink
You don’t flinch
You just watch me meet the fire
[Chorus]
I burn in the chair of my own making
Hear my last plea
God
Can You take it
To the one that crawled out of my shadowed throat
Grant me grace
Grant me grace
But the silence starts to choke
[Bridge]
I carved you into nightmares
You stitched yourself to day
I branded skin with terror
You walked
You walked away
Now copper floods my mouth
I spit a broken prayer (forgive me)
You stare right through my skull
Like I’m already not there
[Chorus]
I burn in the chair of my own making
Hear my last plea
God
Can You take it
To the one that crawled out of my shadowed throat
Grant me grace
Grant me grace
But the silence starts to choke
[Outro]
Current climbs my spine
Everything goes white
Last spark of a butchered heart
Swallowed by your quiet spite
