[Verse 1]
Teeth in the mirror
I know what I am
Blood on the doorway
I draw my own line in the sand
Your shadows keep calling
My veins start to crawl
But I sharpen my mercy
Like a blade for us all
[Pre-Chorus]
I was born in the dark of the graveyard
Now I’m burning every name on the grave cards
Every face that I loved
Every curse in my blood
I’m the mark
I’m the mask
I’m the wildcard
[Chorus]
I’m a traitor to the thirst (to the thirst)
Turn the hunger into hurt
I’m the nightmare that hunts nightmares
Drag the monsters through the dirt
Yeah
I’m hunting down my own
Set a fire in their throne
Call me Judas of the dusk
Of the damned
Of the dark
I’m a traitor to the thirst
And I’m aiming for the heart (hey!)
[Verse 2]
You slip through the alleys
I track every scent
Your whispers on windows
I remember every debt that you spent
You made me a weapon
Now I’m off of the chain
Every echo of your laughter
Is a target in my brain
[Pre-Chorus]
You say loyalty’s carved into fang marks
But I buried all your oaths in the graveyard
Every clan
Every crown
I will tear it all down
I’m the storm
I’m the stake in your cold heart
[Chorus]
I’m a traitor to the thirst (to the thirst)
Turn the hunger into hurt
I’m the nightmare that hunts nightmares
Drag the monsters through the dirt
Yeah
I’m hunting down my own
Set a fire in their throne
Call me Judas of the dusk
Of the damned
Of the dark
I’m a traitor to the thirst
And I’m aiming for the heart
[Bridge]
[Beat drops
Vocal half-whispered
Guitars low and seething]
Did you think I’d kneel?
Did you think I’d feed?
I’d rather choke on ashes
Than on your greed
(mmm)
If I burn
I burn you with me
If I fall
I fall through history
As the one who broke the bloodline
With a silver-lined spine
[Chorus]
I’m a traitor to the thirst (to the thirst)
Turn the hunger into hurt
I’m the nightmare that hunts nightmares
Drag the monsters through the dirt
Yeah
I’m hunting down my own
Set a fire in their throne
Call me Judas of the dusk
Of the damned
Of the dark
I’m a traitor to the thirst
And I’m aiming for the heart (aiming for the heart)
I’m a traitor to the thirst
And I’m tearing you apart (oh yeah)
