[Intro]
[piercing feedback]
Static in my teeth
Tongue tastes rust
Skin pulls tight
Heartbeat
Bust
[Verse 1]
Needle in the nerve
Spine lights up
Every vein a corridor
Black flood in the cup
Jaw wired shut
But the grin crawls wide
I watch my own hands
From the outside
[Chorus]
Drugs take over my body
I am crawling in my skin
Every pulse is a prison
And the warden’s digging in
Drugs take over my body
I can feel myself divide
You live under my ribcage
I rot from the inside
[Verse 2]
Pupils like tunnels
Throat breathes flame
You write your alphabet
Across my brain
Teeth grind gravel
Bones hum low
I’m the empty altar
You’re the shadow in the glow
[Breakdown]
[low vocal register]
You wear my nerves
Like a crown of thorns
You steer my fists
Through the eye of the storm
[guttural fry screams]
My lungs are yours
My blood is yours
My mind
Devoured
By chemical swarms
[Chorus]
[guitar solo]
[Bridge]
[half-time
Massive chugs]
You talk in tremors
You sing in shakes
You count your kingdoms
In spiderweb veins
I’m still in here
Nails in the glass
You laugh in echoes
While I sink
While I sink
[Chorus]
