[Intro] Teeth on the gate Knuckles on bone Eyes on that fence line You want a different throne? [Verse 1] You carved your name in a rusted sign Chasing mirages you built in your mind Every fake halo Every plastic crown Looks real pretty till the house burns down You sold your soul for a painted view Same dead dirt in a brighter hue That "better life" you swore you’d find Is just my nightmare redesigned [Chorus] The grass is rotting over there You’re choking on your perfect air You crossed that line Now you see Same cold grave Just a new disease The grass is rotting over there You bled for lies that never cared You left this hell to be set free You just changed chains Not destiny [Verse 2] You thought the vultures would spare your head If you fed them pieces of me instead You ran from ashes Ran from the smoke Now you’re the tinder that keeps them stoked You drink their promise like sacred wine But every sip is laced with brine Your "fresh start" smells like meat and fear Different dogs Same teeth My dear [Chorus] [Bridge] You tore through the wire Skin in the thorns [choking growls] "This time it’s different" You swore and you swore But every new pasture is painted with blood And every bright meadow sinks into mud [guitar solo] [Chorus]
