Grievous

V5

[Verse 1] Your jaw is tight Knuckles ask for war (again) Teeth full of words You ain't said yet Anger in your voice Cutting through the room You're hard eyes pierce While you shake like a fuse (yeah) [Pre-Chorus] Every bite of the tongue Still tastes like blood You wanna feel big So you pull the flood [Chorus] How much more grievous Are the scars than the strike You burn down heaven Just to prove you were right Look at this crater Where your pride took flight How much more grievous Are the scars than the strike [Verse 2] Phone on the floor Cracked from last night Echoes in the drywall Shaped like your spite You don't even realize As you curse my name Then drown in the silence When I'm walking away (walking away) [Pre-Chorus] Every shout in the dark Leaves crushing in your lungs You wanted the win But my absence is what you won [Chorus] How much more grievous Are the scars than the strike You burn down heaven Just to prove you were right Look at this crater Where your pride took flight How much more grievous Are the scars than the strike [Bridge] You said it You can't unsay it (oh) Tongue like a torch Now try to unblaze it You feel it The cost in your chest Tiny black flowers Blooming where you pressed [Chorus] How much more grievous Are the scars than the strike You burn down heaven Just to prove you were right Look at this crater Where your love held tight How much more grievous Are the scars than the strike (than the strike) [Bridge] You said it in a second (hey) I felt it for a year I walk away in anguish You're feet welded in the fear My back fades from vision (the last you'll see) Is it what you wanted it to be
