Teeth On The Pavement

Split knuckles

Rust on my tongue

Spit blood on the curb

(I’m still not done)

You preach peace

With your hands in your sleeves

I carved truth

Into both of my teeth

Teeth on the pavement

Say my name in the concrete scrape

Every scar is a statement

I was built from the break

From the break

Teeth on the pavement

Hear that grind every time I shake

If this world wants payment

Let it chew what it tried to take (yeah)

Jaw wired

Heart on the chain

Breath tastes

Like gasoline rain

You want hope?

It’s under these boots

Buried deep

With the dead old you

Teeth on the pavement

Say my name in the concrete scrape

Every scar is a statement

I was built from the break

From the break

Teeth on the pavement

Hear that grind every time I shake

If this world wants payment

Let it chew what it tried to take

Face down

Feel the ground

(Stay down)

Hear that sound

This is the crack in your halo

This is your spine hitting rock

Every lie that you laid in my marrow

Now snaps on the drop

On the drop (hey!)

Teeth on the pavement

Say my name in the concrete scrape

Every scar is a statement

I was built from the break

From the break

Teeth on the pavement

Hear that grind every time I shake

If this world wants payment

Let it chew what it tried to take (let it chew what it tried to take)
