Let That Slag Die

[Verse 1] You carved your gospel Into skin and bone Screamed your “love” Till it cracked my tone Ashtray halos Flying at my head You called it discipline I called it wishing I was dead [Pre-Chorus] You made the house a hunting ground Every step a landmine sound You taught me hate and called it pride Now watch me burn your lie [Chorus] Let that slag die Every word you used to chain me Let that slag die Every curse you ever gave me You built this hell inside my mind Now you’re choking on your shrine Let that slag die I’m not your wounded child this time [Verse 2] Family portraits Hide the broken doors Smile for the neighbors Ignore the shaking floors You said I’m nothing Till I bled just to feel You don’t get a halo For a life you tried to steal [Pre-Chorus] You made my tears your alibi Played the victim while I cried You say “forgive Forget Move on” But some ghosts deserve to burn [Chorus] Let that slag die Every word you used to chain me Let that slag die Every curse you ever gave me You built this hell inside my mind Now you’re choking on your shrine Let that slag die I’m not your wounded child this time [Bridge] You want respect? Earn it in the light Face every scar You carved in the night You raised a storm Now drown in the tide I won’t protect Your pretty little lie (hey!) [Chorus] Let that slag die Every word you used to chain me Let that slag die Every curse you ever gave me You built this hell inside my mind Now I’m ripping out your shrine Let that slag die I’m not your wounded child this time Let that slag die I cut the cord I cut your crime
