[Verse 1] Behind the glass, I watch you smile Your bright room cuts the dark in two Green venom climbing up my throat I count the cracks and blame them on you [Pre-Chorus] You shine; I sink knee-deep in mud My nails rake lines across my skin I scratch at what I cannot touch And call the burning discipline [Chorus] Swallow the green, curse every light Drag down their crowns into the dirt I want your morning torn from you But bitterness is what I hurt [Verse 2] I salt your garden with a lie Lay rust along the stems you tend I smile at you and say, “How well” While wishing ground would split beneath [Bridge] I aimed the rot at your bright door Fed every spiteful thought its due I wanted you beneath the soil But all that sickness grew in me [Final Chorus] Swallow the green, curse every light Drag down their crowns into the dirt Teeth clenched, I spit your name like ash Still bitterness is what I hurt Swallow the green, tear down the shine Grind every crown into the dirt I wanted you to lose your light— I rotted first; I did the hurt [Outro]
