Teeth Full Of Dirt

[Verse 1]
Face down
Teeth full of dirt
I taste every failure
Every old hurt
Hands shake
Heart like a drum
My shadow keeps laughing
Asking what I've become
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear them hissing
"Stay where you fell"
But I'm still breathing
I'm not your shell
[Chorus]
I get knocked down
I crawl upright
Blood in my mouth but I still bite
You can drag me through the flood
I'll rise with my fists from the mud
I'm losing ground
I feel that sting
But I won't bow to anything
I break
I bruise
I'm stained in rust
I fall
Get up
Get up
Or turn to dust
[Verse 2]
Scars talk
Louder than friends
They say
"You're done"
They say
"This ends"
Cold floor
Back to the wall
But I won't be a ghost
In my own skull
[Pre-Chorus]
They circle closer
Chanting my name
But I'm not giving
Them all this pain
[Chorus]
I get knocked down
I crawl upright
Blood in my mouth but I still bite
You can drag me through the flood
I'll rise with my fists from the mud
I'm losing ground
I feel that sting
But I won't bow to anything
I break
I bruise
I'm stained in rust
I fall
Get up
Get up
Or turn to dust
[Bridge]
(yeah)
If this is hell
I'll build a throne from every failed attempt
If this is war
I'll wear the dents like holy ornament
If I am lost
I'll carve a map into my shaking chest
If I collapse
I'll hit the ground like I'm learning to rest
[Chorus]
I get knocked down
I crawl upright
Blood in my mouth but I still bite
You can drag me through the flood
I'll rise with my fists from the mud
I'm losing ground
I feel that sting
But I won't bow to anything
I break
I bruise
I burn this crust
I fall
Get up
Get up
I fall
Get up
Get up
From dust to dust

Post-hardcore with male vocals; tense, picked guitars that explode into open chords, sharp snare and tight double-kick under screamed verses. Chorus opens wider with octave leads and shouted gang vocals. Brief halftime bridge with dissonant chords and feedback, then final chorus faster and higher intensity, layered screams over a desperate clean melody., hardcore
