Ashes And Teeth
Lyrics
Verse 1
I came in quiet
Black coat, bent spine
Carried that storm
Under my tongue
You said "calm down"
I said "watch me"
I was born in the bruise
Where the good dies young
Slow burn, cold stare
Hands full of bad luck
Every smile I wore
Had a knife in the cuff
The room felt small
The air felt cursed
I heard my own blood
Say "break it first"
Pre-Chorus
Now the walls lean in
Now the pulse gets mean
Now the weak choke back
When I spit that scream
I don't pray for peace
I don't want your hand
I want that red line crossed
I want the whole damn stand
Chorus
Burn, burn, burn it down
Love and hate bleed out
Burn, burn, burn it down
I live in the in-between
I want the truth in my mouth
I want the teeth, I want the doubt
Burn, burn, burn it down
Love and hate bleed out
Verse 2
You kissed like a blade
Wrapped in silk thread
Left me with a grin
And a mouth full of lead
Now I laugh too hard
Now I swing too wide
Got a devil on my back
And a war in my eyes
Shit gets ugly fast
When the heart gets fed
You can call me cruel
I call it being dead
Every road I walked
Had a thorn for a door
Every “stay with me”
Turned into “want more?”
Pre-Chorus
Now the walls lean in
Now the pulse gets mean
Now the weak choke back
When I spit that scream
I don't pray for peace
I don't want your hand
I want that red line crossed
I want the whole damn stand
Chorus
Burn, burn, burn it down
Love and hate bleed out
Burn, burn, burn it down
I live in the in-between
I want the truth in my mouth
I want the teeth, I want the doubt
Burn, burn, burn it down
Love and hate bleed out
Bridge
I was made in the wreck
With a fist full of sparks
With a mouth full of glass
And a hole in the dark
Say my name, spit it right
I don't flinch, I don't fold
I got rage in my lungs
And a heart gone cold
Breakdown
Fuck your peace
Fuck your lies
Fuck the dream
That dies inside
I said fuck your peace
Fuck your lies
We go hard
Or we die
Final Chorus
Burn, burn, burn it down
Love and hate bleed out
Burn, burn, burn it down
I live in the in-between
I want the truth in my mouth
I want the teeth, I want the doubt
Burn, burn, burn it down
Love and hate bleed out
Burn, burn, burn it down
Till the last words shout
Burn, burn, burn it down
I live in the in-between
