[Intro] [Immediate heavy groove riff] [Verse 1] Deep under my skin it burns Still feel your poison touch Buried it six feet deep But the bastard won't stay down Silence screams inside my head Outrunning what I can't escape Every scar tears open wide Reminding me I'm still chained [Pre-Chorus] I thought I held the reins Thought the damage finally died But every breath drags me back Into the fire I can't hide [Chorus] It's taken control again Memories rip through my veins Every piece of me turns ice But I refuse to break I hear it clawing from within The war I never fucking won This monster that I couldn't kill Still owns the blood I bleed [Verse 2] Every night it drags me under Crushing weight I can't outrun Thoughts I chained and locked away Shatter through and come undone I tried to drown the wreckage Force the past into the grave But the harder that I fight it The more it makes me its slave [Pre-Chorus] I swore I could erase it Swore I'd leave it all behind But every buried demon Still screams inside my mind [Chorus] It's taken control again Memories rip through my veins Every piece of me turns ice But I refuse to break I hear it clawing from within The war I never fucking won This monster that I couldn't kill Still owns the blood I bleed [Bridge] I feel it crawling underneath Every fractured bone in me No distance kills this curse It never fucking leaves [Final Chorus] It's taken control again I'm losing grip but still I fight Every fear that I buried deep Built another cage inside I feel it tearing through my chest No escape no end in sight This thing I couldn't kill Still drags me through the night [Outro] [hard stop]
