[Intro]
Black sky
Cracked earth
Cold hands
Dig first
[Verse 1]
I feel the marrow in my teeth
Grinding prayers into dust in my jaw
Every breath is rust and salt
Every step a drag through clawed ground
Eyes like funeral bells
Ringing out over dead fields
You say "there’s mercy somewhere"
I only taste steel
[Chorus]
Deep in the throat of the abyss
I tear my name from the dark
From the dark
Angels drown in the blood I spit
While the choir sings my scars
Sings my scars
If there’s light
Let it burn like this
Screams turned crowns in the throat of the abyss
[Verse 2]
[low vocal register] I wear my fears like armor
Stitched in vein and bone and bite
[high shriek] Every promise you abandoned
Hangs like frost from the inside
The symphony bends
Out of tune with the sky
Choir mouths open
Choking on smoke
They echo the words that I never could say
So I let my lungs explode
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[guttural vocals] Tear out the silence
Let the violins bleed
Brass like collapsing towers
Drums like broken knees
[whispered vocals] Will I be forgiven?
[full scream] I don’t need forgiveness
Just one more breath
To rip through existence
[crescendo] Choir above me
Hands below
Pulling at my ribs till the cage doors close
[Chorus]
