[Verse 1]
I got hate in my throat
And a grin made of rust
Lies on my tongue
Like a knife in the dust
Dark in my chest
Like a room with no door
Fear in my hands
When I hit the floor
They sold me a name
Then they buried my worth
Now I walk through the mud
Like I own this dirt
[Pre-Chorus]
Say it again
I’m still here
Break that mask
Let the panic hear
Say it again
I won’t fold
You can’t crown
What you can’t control
[Chorus]
Temple of dirt
I rise through the hurt
Temple of dirt
Still standing in the hurt
Burn it down
I won’t go numb
Temple of dirt
Watch me become
[Verse 2]
Same old voices
Try to crawl in my skull
Promise me emptiness
Say my soul ain’t full
But I spit in the mirror
I wear that scar
Every bruise on my name
Made me who I are
I learned how to bite
Learned how to breathe through smoke
Learned how to laugh
When the last hope broke
Got a hammer in my ribs
And a howl in my jaw
I’m a bad little sermon
With a cracked-out law
[Pre-Chorus]
Say it again
I’m still here
Break that mask
Let the panic hear
Say it again
I won’t fold
You can’t crown
What you can’t control
[Chorus]
Temple of dirt
I rise through the hurt
Temple of dirt
Still standing in the hurt
Burn it down
I won’t go numb
Temple of dirt
Watch me become
[Bridge]
Sink me deeper
I come back meaner
Name my shame
I turn it cleaner
Hands in the rubble
Face in the flame
If I was nothing
I made a new name
[Chorus]
Temple of dirt
I rise through the hurt
Temple of dirt
Still standing in the hurt
Burn it down
I won’t go numb
Temple of dirt
Watch me become
[Outro]
Hatred, lies
I know your shape
Darkness, fear
You’re too late
Temple of dirt
I’m still alive
Temple of dirt
I survive
