Lab Rats Hymn

Lyrics

Intro
Black glass in my mouth
Cold wire in my throat
A name scratched in rust
And I can’t let go

Verse 1
You came like a test
With a needle smile
Left your fingerprints
On my ribcage file
I swallowed the lie
It burned slow, bright
Now it crawls in my veins
When I kill the light

Pre-Chorus
Turn the key
Hear it grind
Something in me
Won’t unwind
Say my name
Say it right
I can feel you
Inside

Chorus
Cyanide of love
Cyanide of love
You taste so sweet
Then you shut me down
Cyanide of love
Cyanide of love
I keep coming back
To the poison sound
(Back to the poison sound)

Breakdown
Claw marks on the wall
Static in the bone
I was built to kneel
Now I bite the throne
Say it again
Say it again
I know your touch
Is my end

Verse 2
Your kiss was a code
Your hug was a lock
I heard every click
When the panic stopped
You fed me the calm
Then fed me the dread
Now your shadow sits
At the edge of my bed

Pre-Chorus
Turn the key
Hear it grind
Something in me
Won’t unwind
Say my name
Say it right
I can feel you
Inside

Chorus
Cyanide of love
Cyanide of love
You taste so sweet
Then you shut me down
Cyanide of love
Cyanide of love
I keep coming back
To the poison sound
(Back to the poison sound)

Bridge
I tried to rip you out
With my bare hands
But you grew teeth
In the red night sand
Now the whole machine
Starts when I scream
And the screen goes black
On the same old dream

Breakdown
Hit me
Harder
Break me
Faster
Love me
Long enough
To make me a disaster

Verse 3
Now I wear your mark
Like a burned-in brand
Every prayer I know
Turns to iron in my hand
If I choke on the truth
Let it choke back twice
I’m the saint of the wound
And the heir to the vice

Chorus
Cyanide of love
Cyanide of love
You taste so sweet
Then you shut me down
Cyanide of love
Cyanide of love
I keep coming back
To the poison sound
(Back to the poison sound)

Outro
Black glass in my mouth
Cold wire in my throat
Your ghost in the gears
Won’t let me go
Cyanide of love
Cyanide of love
I’m still alive
In the afterglow
