[Verse 1] I came in with the calm face Pocket full of sharp words You built a little altar out the wrong name Now I’m reading all the scorch marks Red ink on the white plate Cold grin in the back room You talk big in the hallway I hear small where the cracks bloom [Pre-Chorus] You want the smoke, then say it plain You want the weight, then lift the chain I seen your love turn counterfeit Seen your pride wear a borrowed face [Chorus] Laid out on the table of hate Laid out, laid out Laid out on the table of hate You keep the poison, I keep the name (table of hate) Laid out on the table of hate Laid out, laid out [Verse 2] I got a bruise for every lesson I got a grin for every threat You throw stones from a clean bed Then act shocked at the crack it gets My words got teeth in the velvet My truth got mud on the cuff I been polite with a loaded stare Now the silence is enough [Pre-Chorus] You want the smoke, then say it plain You want the weight, then lift the chain I seen your love turn counterfeit Seen your pride wear a borrowed face [Chorus] Laid out on the table of hate Laid out, laid out Laid out on the table of hate You keep the poison, I keep the name (table of hate) Laid out on the table of hate Laid out, laid out [Bridge] [Wah-wah break] I watched the room go thin When the soft lies folded in Now the brass in my chest goes bent But I don’t bend to fit your grin [Final Chorus] Laid out on the table of hate Laid out, laid out Laid out on the table of hate You keep the poison, I keep the name (table of hate) Laid out on the table of hate Laid out, laid out Laid out on the table of hate And I’m walking off the frame
