hellhounds

[Intro]
[howls echo, distant laughter]
Footsteps
On the brimstone
Breathing in the sulfur
Calling out my sins
[Verse 1]
Teeth in the dirt
Blood on my name
I fed every fear
Till it gnawed through the chain
They circle my bed
Claws on the floor
Every promise I broke
Scratching under the door (yeah)
[Chorus]
Hellhounds, on my trail again
Snarling every secret that I tried to bury
Hellhounds, chewing through my shame
Every guilty heartbeat tastes so heavy
Run, run, but they love that sound
Of my soul going down
Hellhounds
Hellhounds
[Verse 2]
Tongues made of smoke
Grins made of knives
They laugh when I choke
On the pieces of my life
I bargain, I beg
They just tilt their heads
Saying, “We remember
Every word you never said” (ha-ha-ha)
[Chorus]
Hellhounds, on my trail again
Snarling every secret that I tried to bury
Hellhounds, chewing through my shame
Every guilty heartbeat tastes so heavy
Run, run, but they love that sound
Of my soul going down
Hellhounds
Hellhounds
[Bridge]
Who unleashed these beasts from my rib cage?
Who painted my halo in ash?
Every lie, every rage, every backdoor deal
Was a match, was a match, was a match
Now they’re
Closer, closer, breath in my ear
“Howl for us, boy, this is your year” (woah)
If I’m the one who opened that gate
Then I’m the one who burns with my fate
[Chorus]
Hellhounds, on my trail again
Snarling every secret that I tried to bury
Hellhounds, chewing through my shame
Every guilty heartbeat tastes so heavy
Run, run, but they love that sound
Of my soul going down
Hellhounds
(hellhounds)
Hellhounds
[Outro]
[howls rise, demonic laughter swells then cuts]
Say my name
And they answer back
Hellhounds
Hellhounds
