[Intro]
[whispered vocals]
Teeth in the dark
Breath on my neck
Hear that choir
Saying “cut the safety check”
[low vocal register]
Blood moon over my old house
Every wrong turn mapped out
Feel that floor start shaking
Yeah, they woke the blackout
[Chorus]
Rev the wound
Let it roar, let it open
I’m the knife, I’m the hand
I’m the fear you were holding
Burn it through
Every scar, every omen
Say my name in the fire
Hear the chains all corroding
[Verse 1]
Fang in my grin, I don’t play nice
Talk big, you’ll be chalk on the gray ice
Bite down hard, taste rust in the stage lights
Whole block jump when the rage strikes
Spine made of engine parts, heart full of recoil
I grew in the pressure, I blossom in the turmoil
You scroll through a life that you never really live
I bled for this hunger, what you got to give?
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
I was that kid with the cracked lens
Hand-me-down hate and a past tense
Every closed door just a new dent
Now I walk through walls like the rent’s spent
Face your god, that reflection is ugly
All of your heroes went quiet or dusty
I am the glitch in the perfect show
I am the hand on the plug, let it overflow
[Bridge]
[choir only, sparse drums]
All that you buried
Still grows, still grows
All that you silence
Still knows, still knows
[spoken, close-mic]
You can pray to your comfort
You can cling to your rules
But the beast you keep hiding
Just sharpened its tools
[Chorus]
