Judgemental Theory

Lyrics

Intro
Judgemental theory
Judgemental theory
I see your teeth in the dark
I see your hands on the glass

Verse 1
You came with a grin like a knife
Left mud on the white floor
Counted my sins with your eyes
Like you paid for the right to score
I hear your jaw in the vents
Click-clack, little machine
You want my name in a chain
Want my blood in a screen
But I been buried in heat
Where the ash learns my shape
Every door that you touched
Turned to rust, turned to hate

Pre-Chorus
Say it soft
Say it slow
You don’t know
What I know
Your mouth is a lock
Your soul is a code
I break through
I break through

Chorus
Judgemental theory
You don’t own me
Judgemental theory
You don’t know me
(too cold) (too close)
You bite, you fold
Judgemental theory
Watch it unfold

Verse 2
I walk with a ghost in my spine
Heavy boots, no prayer
You keep that dead little light
Like a bug in your hair
I been made in the storm
From the smoke and the slag
You were built for the throne
I was built for the drag
Now the walls start to sweat
When I grin at your face
Every word that you spit
Comes back like a blade

Breakdown
Tick
tick
black wire
black wire
Open up
open up
No mercy in the choir
No mercy
No mercy

Verse 3
Now the room got a pulse
And it rattles your knees
Every shadow I cast
Got a dozen degrees
You hear demons in my throat
But they answering truth
I don’t need your cold stamp
Or your polished little proof
You can preach to the dust
You can crown your own fear
I’ll be standing in the smoke
When your courtroom disappears

Bridge
Hush
let the metal pray
Hush
let the paper burn away
You made a kingdom of doubt
I made a path out of pain
Now the wire in your mouth
Only sings my name

Chorus
Judgemental theory
You don’t own me
Judgemental theory
You don’t know me
(too cold) (too close)
You bite, you fold
Judgemental theory
Watch it unfold

Outro
Judgemental theory
Judgemental theory
I see your teeth in the dark
I see your hands on the glass
