[Verse 1]
I wake up with teeth in my throat
Your shadow keeps scratching my name
Black hands on the mirror again
I know that I’m not the same
You ring like a chain in my skull
You crawl when I’m begging for air
I learned how to bite through the fear
I learned how to bleed and not care
[Pre-Chorus]
Take your hands off my skin
I’ve been buried and I’m still breathing
Say my name, say it again
I can feel the crack in the ceiling
[Chorus]
Cut me open, I still burn
I still burn for the truth
Demons know my name
But they don’t know you
Cut me open, I still burn
I still burn in the flood
If I fall into hell
I’ll come back with blood
[Verse 2]
There’s smoke in the seams of my ribs
There’s thorns in the shape of my prayers
I dragged your crown through the mud
Now your throne is a room with no air
Every scar is a broken lock
Every scream is a key in my fist
I don’t need your poison pride
I was made for a war like this
[Pre-Chorus]
Take your hands off my skin
I’ve been buried and I’m still breathing
Say my name, say it again
I can feel the crack in the ceiling
[Chorus]
Cut me open, I still burn
I still burn for the truth
Demons know my name
But they don’t know you
Cut me open, I still burn
I still burn in the flood
If I fall into hell
I’ll come back with blood
[Guitar Solo]
[Breakdown]
Drag me down
I bite back
Drag me down
I bite back
The ground shakes
When I say your name
No chain holds
What the fire made
Drag me down
I bite back
Drag me down
I bite back
[Final Chorus]
Cut me open, I still burn
I still burn for the truth
Demons know my name
But they don’t know you
Cut me open, I still burn
I still burn in the flood
If I fall into hell
I’ll come back with blood
[Outro]
I’ll come back
With blood
I’ll come back
With blood
