Glass in My Gums

[Verse 1]
You shook my hand
Knives in your sleeve
Said you were family
You watched me bleed
You crossed your heart
Crossed out my name
Smiled in my face
Spat in my veins (yeah)
[Pre-Chorus]
You called it love
It felt like rust
Every promise
Turned into dust
[Chorus]
You were the halo I trusted
Rust on a nail in my spine
You were the home I believed in
Boarded me up from the inside
I bit down on your broken word
Now there’s glass in my gums
In my lungs
In my blood
You were the one that I worshipped
Now I scream your name in the mud (scream your name in the mud)
[Verse 2]
You lit the fuse
Said it was incense
Watched the room burn
Blamed it on “instinct”
You held my scars
Counted them slow
Said you’d protect me
Then pushed me below
[Pre-Chorus]
How could you grin
While I broke apart
You signed your lies
Right on my heart
[Chorus]
You were the halo I trusted
Rust on a nail in my spine
You were the home I believed in
Boarded me up from the inside
I bit down on your broken word
Now there’s glass in my gums
In my lungs
In my blood
You were the one that I worshipped
Now I scream your name in the mud (in the mud)
[Bridge]
(Why?)
Why did I choke on every “I’m fine”?
(Why?)
Why did I kneel while you drew that line?
All of your “always”
Hung like a noose
You pulled it tighter
Called it “the truth” (liar)
[Heavy Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
You were the halo I trusted
Bent into thorns ’round my mind
You were the home I believed in
Bricked every window with lies
I bit down on your broken word
Now there’s glass in my gums
In my lungs
In my blood (let it flood)
You were the one that I worshipped
Now I scream your name till it cuts (till it cuts)
[Outro]
[Harsh screams over ringing guitars]
You were the halo
Now you’re the haunt
You were my shelter
Now you’re the rot
I walk away
From what we were
You taught me hell
I learned to burn (burn)

rock, Bleak screamo-emo metal with male vocals: palm-muted, down-tuned guitars chugging under dissonant ambient drones, kick-heavy double-time drums. Verses ride a tense half-time groove with melodic lead motifs; choruses explode into layered screams and clean top-line. Middle section opens into a wide, reverb-soaked heavy rock guitar solo over a shifting chord bed. Occasional gang shouts and distant backing howls, mix aggressive but spacious, letting feedback and tails bleed between sections., screamo, ambient, metal, emo
