[Intro]
Slow crawl
Teeth grit
Heart still
Just a bit
[Verse 1]
Peel my smile off
Hang it by the door
Soft things rot
On a rusted floor
I fed my doubt
Till it chewed through bone
Now I starve it out
In a steel-skinned home
[Chorus]
Burn out the weakness
Scrape it off my spine
Ash to animal
Nothing left that's kind
Cut out the mercy
Let the last light die
If there's a heart here
I will watch it dry (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Every gentle thought
Tied to a chair
I sharpen my grief
Let it taste the air
Bury that ache
In a six-foot pit
If it claws back up
I will hammer it
[Chorus]
Burn out the weakness
Scrape it off my spine
Ash to animal
Nothing left that's kind
Cut out the mercy
Let the last light die
If there's a heart here
I will watch it dry (hey)
[Bridge]
I was soft once
Now I spit that out
Ripped the petals off
’Til there’s only drought
If a tear tries
To stain this face
I’ll crush that ghost
In its fragile place (go)
[Chorus]
Burn out the weakness
Scrape it off my spine
Ash to animal
Nothing left that's kind
Cut out the mercy
Let the last light die
If there's a heart here
I will watch it dry
[Outro]
No pulse
Just will
Slow breath
Set to kill
