[Verse 1]
Teeth grind
Jaw full of nails
Chewed through
Every cheap betrayal
You drew blood
Just to sign your name
I bit back
Now I like the taste
Cold eyes
In a warm white room
You smile
Like a slit in a wound
You talk tough
But your hands still shake
I’m the crack
Running through your frame (yeah)
[Chorus]
Say my name with a mouth full of glass (say it)
Spit me out, I keep cutting you back
You built your throne on a paper spine
Watch it fold when I cross that line
You want war? I was born in the flame
Carved my curse in the side of your face
You want war? Better pray I fail
I don’t break, I just grind like a jaw full of nails
[Verse 2]
Scar tissue
Stitched to the bone
I made peace
With the ache long ago
You throw stones
From a screen, from a cage
I’ve thrown fists
Through the bars of this place
Talk big
But your courage is thin
I’m the hit
That you feel when you swing
You push first
Then you act afraid
I push back
Like a tidal blade (hey!)
[Bridge]
[Drop to choked guitar chug, whispered vocal]
Bite down
Hear the nerve line snap
Black out
While the world goes black
I’m the crack in the calm
I’m the scream in your sleep
You can pray to your gods
But they answer to me (to me)
[Chorus]
Say my name with a mouth full of glass (say it)
Spit me out, I keep cutting you back
You built your throne on a paper spine
Watch it fold when I cross that line
You want war? I was born in the flame
Carved my curse in the side of your face
You want war? Better pray I fail
I don’t break, I just grind like a jaw full of nails
