[Verse 1] Teeth in the mirror Claw-marks on my calm I keep my smile stitched shut While they circle in my palm Blood on the Bible Ink on every page They taught me “girl, stay quiet” So I married my rage (ha) I am the crack in the hymnal I am the stain in the silk You wanna preach about purity? I’ll pour gasoline in your milk These little nightmares Wear my face to sleep I tuck ’em in with a promise Then I drag ’em to the deep (go) [Chorus] Demons! You made ’em, now you’re gonna hear ’em scream my name I’m breathing fire through the chains you gave I’m wide awake inside your holy grave Demons! You fed ’em every time you called me weak I turn your curses into teeth They’re singing for me now while you can barely speak [Verse 2] Woke with a hex on my heartbeat Rust on my throat, but it still eats You tried to brand me a lost cause I turned the brand into burn scars on your seats You call it “sin” when I talk back Call it “love” when you snap that Halo in half on my neck like a trap I snap back, bare hands, break the latch (ugh) Every whisper you buried in my lungs Every “shut up” sharpened on my tongue Every door slammed, I mapped that maze Now I’m kicking through the walls like a plague [Chorus] Demons! You made ’em, now you’re gonna hear ’em scream my name I’m breathing fire through the chains you gave I’m wide awake inside your holy grave Demons! You fed ’em every time you called me weak I turn your curses into teeth They’re singing for me now while you can barely speak [Bridge] [Half-time stomp, distant choirs rising] Slow march, cracked earth, low drums I don’t run I call ’em one by one Come, shame Come, fear Come, voices in my ear I wear you like war paint I make you disappear [low growls under the lead] (You wanted monsters) (You get me) I am the echo You can’t bleed [Final Chorus] Demons! You made ’em, now you’re gonna hear ’em scream my name I’m breathing fire through the chains you gave I’m wide awake inside your holy grave (wake up, wake up) Demons! You fed ’em every time you called me weak I turn your curses into teeth They’re singing for me now while you can barely speak (speak!) [Outro] [Band surges, towering choir holds a single rising chord] I rise from the ashes you prayed I’d be Your demons kneel And they answer to me (yeah)
