[Verse 1]
Wake up on the cold tile
Ink stains on a battered map
Typewriter on the table
Every save feels like a trap
Moonlight through a boarded window
Shadows chewing on the walls
Hear that stagger down the hallway
Rotting knuckles on the door
[Chorus]
Red herb
Empty clip
Heartbeat louder than the shambling dead
Safe room song in my head
Red herb
Empty clip
Every corner
Every step I take
Another nightmare I don't quite escape
[Verse 2]
Mansion full of locked doors
Crest pieces in my shaking hands
Lab notes on the consoles
Names erased by their own plans
City turning blue and violent
Sirens drowning in the flood
I keep counting every bullet
Like I'm counting every drop of blood
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Face to face with my failures
They grow claws
They grow teeth [low vocal register]
Every virus just a mirror
Showing what’s underneath
Heli blades on the horizon
Ash and ash in the air
[breakdown
Half-time]
If this is human evolution
Then burn it
Right here
[Chorus]
