[Verse 1]
Salt-rot lungs
Iron in my spit
Barnacles on bone
Tide pulls
I split
Crab-claw hands
Hook scars in my cheek
Salt-line around my throat
Treading for a week (bleeding)
[Chorus]
Teeth in the tidemark
Biting where I stand
Dragged by a black wave
Chewed into the sand
Teeth in the tidemark
Gnawing at my trace
Ocean full of vultures
Ripping at my face (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Shipworm heart
Boring through the keel
Algae in my veins
Rusted in the reel
Harpoon thoughts
Stuck behind my eyes
Low-tide graveyard
Every wreck alive (rise)
[Chorus]
Teeth in the tidemark
Biting where I stand
Dragged by a black wave
Chewed into the sand
Teeth in the tidemark
Gnawing at my trace
Ocean full of vultures
Ripping at my face
[Bridge]
[Beat drops to lurching slam
Vocals layered and cavern-deep]
Gills in my neck
I breathe the plague
Hands like anchors
I sink
I beg
Salt in the wound
Foam in my lungs
Drowned in the chorus
Of a thousand tongues (retch)
[Chorus]
Teeth in the tidemark
Biting where I stand
Dragged by a black wave
Chewed into the sand
Teeth in the tidemark
Drown and then erase
Low water
Low prayer
Nothing left but trace
