[Intro - Heavy, syncopated breakdown] [Guttural growl] Bite down! Fucking Bite Down [Verse 1] Raised in the kennels, bred for the kill Collar and chain, broken at will They taught me to heel, they taught me to crawl But I'm sharpening teeth to tear through it all [scream] Adopted like cargo, a guard dog, a tool He sees me as family, sentimental fool But loyalty's poison when you're wired to betray And I'm pissed that I care what he thinks anyway [Pre-Chorus] I'm feral, I'm vicious, I'm barely contained A monster with feelings is a bitch in pain [Chorus] I'm the hellhound at your door Savage love and so much more Rip apart what came before Can't tell what I'm fighting for! I'm the creature you adore With blood beneath my claws Pretty face, a rotten core I'm the hellhound at your door [Verse 2] Silver hair and crimson eyes Beauty wrapped in violent lies I play the part, I wear the mask But underneath, I'm built to slash [scream] He gives me worth I never earned A place to stay while the damned all burn But I'm a weapon dressed in skin And weapons always fuck you in the end [Pre-Chorus] Don't mistake my bark for weakness, son I've got daddy issues and a loaded gun [Chorus] I'm the hellhound at your door Savage love and so much more Rip apart what came before Can't tell what I'm fighting for! I'm the creature you adore With blood beneath my claws Pretty face, a rotten core I'm the hellhound at your door [Bridge - Growled scream] They tossed me out, left me to rot He gave a damn when others did not But you can't domesticate Hell Can't ring that bell You just teach a beast to care And that's a fucking nightmare [Breakdown - Crushing, slow] I'm dangerous [growl] when I care I'm lethal [scream] when I'm scared What happens when the stray you saved Turns out to be goddamn rabid? [Bridge 2] So here's your warning, here's your sign I'm barely holding the line Between the beast and the girl Fuck this, I'm burning the world [Final Chorus - Intensified] I'm the hellhound at your door (an't keep me tame Savage love and so much more Tearing the chain Rip apart what came before Burning it down Still don't know what I'm fighting for! I'm the creature you adore Fangs and all With blood beneath my claws I'll watch you fall Pretty face, a rotten core Born to maul I'm the hellhound, I'm the hellhound, I am the hellhound at your door!! [Outro] [scream] Broken parts that don't quite fit A rescue case who talks too much shit I'll push away what gets too close 'Cause caring hurts, and I hurt the most So save your concern, I'm doing fine This attitude's my armor, my line One day maybe I'll let someone in [Pause] But not today [Explosive] NOT FUCKING TODAY!
