Deadweight

[Verse] Spit flames, stove-top, iron skillet burnin’ Pages flippin’, scriptures twisted, sermon Coffin nail bars, hammer hits the sternum Ghosts in the room, every corner turnin’ Dusty kicks stomp like old boots on gravel Rugged roads paved with secrets unravel City lights flicker, the devil plays Scrabble Words on the board, every move a battle [Chorus] Deadweight, carry it, drag it through the dirt Deadweight, chains on my back, every verse Deadweight, screaming, it only makes it worse Deadweight, deadweight, till they put me in a hearse [Verse 2] Machete tongue, syllables cut through the fog Damp streets smell of metal, blood on the smog Old wounds reopen, the future looks clogged Clock ticks louder, time's a snarling dog Potholes swallow dreams, rims stay bent Dreams leak through cracks in the pavement Anger boils, like a kettle, steam vent Life’s a dice game, no refunds spent [Bridge] Vinyl crackle whispers, spirits in the wax Hiss of the tape, rewind to collapse Bells detuned, tolling for the facts No escape route, no turning back
