[Verse 1]
Glass tongue
Silver grin
You carve your vows in my skin
Black suits
Bright teeth
Count the veins like rosary beads
Little god in a gold-framed room
Polished halo
Gasoline fumes
You sell fire as a cure for the burn
Every prayer just money you turned
[Chorus]
Monument to nightmares
Built from every hungry wish
Stack the lies like altar bricks
Blood on every polished wish
Monument to nightmares
You feed
We tear
We trust
All that greed and all that lust
[Verse 2]
Velvet rope around your throat
Crown of credit
Choking glow
We line up for the sacred feed
Smell the plastic
Call it need
You bless thirst with a branded name
Dress our hollow in priceless shame
We raise steel in your honored shape
Then chain ourselves to the gate
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
I kiss the hand that claws my face
I drink the ash
I praise the taste
I am the brick
I am the stain
I am the choir singing your name
[crescendo]
Hands up
Mouths open
Eyes shut
Heart broken
[Chorus]
