[Intro]
Yeah
Grave dirt in my teeth
Red rain in the streets
Listen
[Verse 1]
I drag coffins up the block
Tombstones lined like a barcode, stock
Names scratched off, just numbers in chalk
You ain't built for this plot, better walk
Got my thoughts tied tight like bamboo rope
They twist brains, bend faith, snap hope
Programmed eyes, dead stare, no soul
I flip the script, burn code, take control
Tokyo drip on my jacket, stains
Cherry blossoms stuck to the blood in the rain
Sirens drown under floodgate roar
Whole damn city get washed to the core
Steel in my jaw, I bite through chains
Knees in the mud, but I like that pain
If the sky wanna fall, let it crash on me
I make a throne out the rubble where the rats all feast
[Chorus]
Tombstone flood
Let it rise to my neck, let it cover my lungs
Mind in the mud
But I bend every thought till the world go numb
Bamboo snapping in the wind
Blood on my hands, I ain’t here to cleanse
Tombstone flood
Either drown in the wave or you ride that end
[Verse 2]
Red smear on the shrine steps, drip, drip
Paper lanterns swing while the ground just splits
Pray all you want, that bell won’t ring
I cut the rope, watch the whole roof sink
I march on the dam with a match in my teeth
One spark, and the valley start grinding its teeth
Water crash down like a thousand fists
Every stone in the graveyard clench and twist
You puppets talk loud with a hollow tone
I pull strings in your spine till you crack your bones
Thoughts reroute when I speak that code
Every syllable a virus in your frontal lobe
[low vocal register]
Stand on the hill when the tide come in
Knees deep in the bodies of the boys you send
I don’t bark, I bite through limbs
Carve my face in the granite while the daylight dims
[Chorus]
Tombstone flood
[Bridge]
[whispered vocals]
Drink that blood like it’s holy tea
Bamboo splinters in your gums when you speak on me
Red river through the alleys of a drowned-out dream
I ain’t anger
I’m the god of your fear on screen
[Chorus]
