[Intro] [Verse] You pulled the copper from the walls of our shared history Leaving the structure to lean against the cold Every word you throw is a rusted nail driven into the floorboards Where we once mapped out a future we never intended to hold I see you sharpening your tongue on the grindstone of your pride Checking the edge to see how deep the incision might go The silence between us is a wasteland of jagged glass And I am walking barefoot just to show you what I know [Pre-Chorus] There is no dignity in this funeral pyre Only the smell of burning bridges and stagnant air We are vultures picking at the carcass of a promise Stripping away the skin until the marrow is bare [Chorus] And I hope the weight of my name chokes your throat in the dark I hope every scar I left becomes a permanent mark We are two predators locked in a cage of our own making Tearing at the fabric of the breaths we are taking I despise the way you look when you try to act small I am waiting for the hammer to bring down the wall [Verse] You rewrite the ledger to make yourself the saint of the ruins While you bury the truth under a mound of calculated lies I watch your mouth move and I see the venom dripping A slow-acting poison reflected in your hollow eyes You were always a master of the subtle amputation Cutting away my confidence piece by bitter piece Now I am returning the favor with a serrated edge Refusing to grant you even a second of peace [Chorus] And I hope the weight of my name chokes your throat in the dark I hope every scar I left becomes a permanent mark We are two predators locked in a cage of our own making Tearing at the fabric of the breaths we are taking I despise the way you look when you try to act small I am waiting for the hammer to bring down the wall [Chorus] And I hope the weight of my name chokes your throat in the dark I hope every scar I left becomes a permanent mark We are two predators locked in a cage of our own making Tearing at the fabric of the breaths we are taking I despise the way you look when you try to act small I am waiting for the hammer to bring down the wall [Outro]
