Bloody Teeth

[Intro] [Verse] Stacked against the blackest backbeat they fabricated Aggravated facts were perforated and then mutilated Uncle Monty smiling while he filed a trial of defilement Auntie Linda panting planting seeds of cold confinement The iron bars are jarring and the scarring is systemic A pandemic of polemics and a lie that’s quite endemic They sold my soul for gold and told the jury I was violent Left me rotting in a plot while they remained entirely silent [Verse] Pacing in a space of masonry and misplaced malice Sipping from the chalice of a palace built on callous Calculation of a reputation ruined by their greed I bleed beneath the creed of every crooked dirty deed My knuckles white and brittle from the spittle on the floor I’m scratching at the latch and catching static at the door The clock is ticking sickeningly sticking in my brain I’m trying not to let the venom flow inside my vein [Chorus] Don’t let the hammer fall and crush the skulls of kin Forgive the fucking sickness and the thicket of their sin The rage is like a furnace burning holes inside my chest I’m wrestling the devil just to find a second’s rest They locked me in a casket for a crime I never knew Now I’m counting every second till I’m coming back for you Hold the fucking trigger keep the blade inside the sheath Gritting every bitter word behind my bloody teeth [Bridge] Perverse and adverse the curse is a hearse A nurse for the thirst of the worst of the first Lies upon lies like a swarm of the flies The truth is a ghost that they bury and prize I hate them I hate them I crave for their end But I won't let the shadow make me finally bend I’m better than slaughter I’m more than the hate I’m fighting the urge to seal up their fate [Verse] Auntie’s eyes are empty like a hollowed out ravine Uncle’s tongue is tangled in a web of the obscene They framed the only nephew who had helped them through the drought Now they’re soaking in the luxury while I am going without The cell is smelling stagnant and the walls are closing in I’m losing every battle to the beast beneath my skin They deserve a jagged ending for the falsehoods that they fed But I’m choking down the fire just to keep them from the dead [Pre-Chorus] The wire is thin and the spirit is frayed Think of the price that has already been paid Don’t become the monster that they claimed that I was Despite every motive and despite every cause [Chorus] Don’t let the hammer fall and crush the skulls of kin Forgive the fucking sickness and the thicket of their sin The rage is like a furnace burning holes inside my chest I’m wrestling the devil just to find a second’s rest They locked me in a casket for a crime I never knew Now I’m counting every second till I’m coming back for you Hold the fucking trigger keep the blade inside the sheath Gritting every bitter word behind my bloody teeth [Chorus] Don’t let the hammer fall and crush the skulls of kin Forgive the fucking sickness and the thicket of their sin The rage is like a furnace burning holes inside my chest I’m wrestling the devil just to find a second’s rest They locked me in a casket for a crime I never knew Now I’m counting every second till I’m coming back for you Hold the fucking trigger keep the blade inside the sheath Gritting every bitter word behind my bloody teeth [Outro]
