Coming Back Now

Lyrics

Intro
Boot up
Bone dry
Steel mouth
Open wide
(come closer)
(come closer)

Verse 1
I woke in a room of bolts
With my name on the wall in rust
My hands were tied to the frame
Still I learned how to move in dust
You left me under the floor
Where the pipes keep count all night
Now I hear my old pulse crawl
Like a wire with a dying light

Pre-Chorus
Hear that gate
Hear it shake
Something buried starts to wake
Cold code in my throat
Black smoke in my bones
I’m not gone
I’m not gone

Chorus
I’m coming back
I’m coming back
Through the crack in the slab
I’m coming back
I’m coming back
With my teeth in the dark
(coming back)
(coming back)

Breakdown
Lock
Break
Claw through the plate
Turn
Snare
Make the walls cave
I
Won’t
Stay in the grave
I
Won’t
Behave

Verse 2
They built me a mouth of iron
To repeat what the dead once said
But I spit out the holy script
And let static ring through my head
Every door in the house went thin
Every hinge sang sharp and mean
I left drag marks in the hallway
Like a ghost in a factory machine

Pre-Chorus
Hear that gate
Hear it shake
Something buried starts to wake
Cold code in my throat
Black smoke in my bones
I’m not gone
I’m not gone

Chorus
I’m coming back
I’m coming back
Through the crack in the slab
I’m coming back
I’m coming back
With my teeth in the dark
(coming back)
(coming back)

Bridge
Shut it down
Watch me climb
Through the wire and the teeth of time
Say my name
Watch it bend
I was never made to end
(never made to end)
(never made to end)

Breakdown
Click
Whirr
Slam the steel door
Crash
Burn
I want more
Tear
Tear
At the seam
Wake
Wake
The machine

Verse 3
Now the ceiling won’t hold me still
And the floor gives way to red
I can hear your breath go thin
When my shadow leans on your bed
You tried to bury the spark
But it fed on the dirt below
Every broken thing you sealed
Is the first thing I learned to know

Pre-Chorus
Hear that gate
Hear it shake
Something buried starts to wake
Cold code in my throat
Black smoke in my bones
I’m not gone
I’m not gone

Chorus
I’m coming back
I’m coming back
Through the crack in the slab
I’m coming back
I’m coming back
With my teeth in the dark
(coming back)
(coming back)

Outro
Boot down
Lights out
Still I crawl through the sound
I’m coming back
I’m coming back
Under your house
Under your house
