[Verse 1] Woke up with rust in my veins Teeth like glass Tongue like flame Shaking hands Chasing that ghost Same old poison Different dose Bathroom mirror Bloodshot lies Cracked saint staring in my eyes "I swear it's the last one" I swear that every time [Chorus] So I’m killing the part of me that’s dying Ripping out the rot I hear it crying (let it cry) White knuckle halo Digging in my skin If I gotta bleed to live Then let it begin Yeah I’m killing the part of me that’s dying Burying that grave I keep inside me If I walk through hell to come out sober Then let this old me be over [Verse 2] Friends turned to empty chairs Missed calls Whispered prayers Blackouts Blue lights Busted lip Laughing as I lose my grip Every high One step from ground Concrete calling Siren sound Thought about the final fall Just to shut the hunger off [Chorus] So I’m killing the part of me that’s dying Ripping out the rot I hear it crying (shut it down) White knuckle halo Digging in my skin If I gotta bleed to live Then let it begin Yeah I’m killing the part of me that’s dying Burying that grave I keep inside me If I walk through hell to come out sober Then let this old me be over [Bridge] This is not a swan dive surrender This is teeth bare Broken defender I’m not climbing into a coffin tonight I’m dragging that coffin into the light (hey!) Breath by breath I break its throne Every urge A thrown stone You want a body? Take this shell My soul is crawling out of hell [Chorus] I’m killing the part of me that’s dying Ripping out the rot I hear it crying (let it cry) White knuckle halo Carving through my skin If I gotta bleed to live Then let it begin Yeah I’m killing the part of me that’s dying Leaving all its bottles far behind me If I walk through hell to come out sober Then let this old me be over [Outro] One shot left And it’s mine Not to die But to stay alive White knuckle halo Hold the line
