[Intro] [Verse] You drag that old carcass of our dead January Across the floorboards where we used to sleep Your mouth is a jagged edge of a rusted blade Slicing through every promise you failed to keep I see the venom dripping from your porcelain teeth The way you grin when you hit a nerve You claim I am the anchor that pulled you under But you are the shipwreck you rightfully deserve [Verse] You are counting my faults like a miser counts gold Storing them up for a rainy day attack I remember the weight of your hand in mine Now I only feel the knife sticking out of my back You talk about the wasted years and the heavy cost While you burn every bridge that leads to the shore There is a cold satisfaction in the way you spit Declaring that you do not know me anymore [Chorus] We are tearing the wallpaper off of the soul Leaving the jagged scars out for the world to view I am digging a trench just to get away from the stench Of the bitter remains of the creature that was you Every word is a bullet aimed straight for the throat We are two starving dogs fighting over a bone There is no mercy left in this hollowed out house Just the sound of the spite as we rot here alone [Chorus] We are tearing the wallpaper off of the soul Leaving the jagged scars out for the world to view I am digging a trench just to get away from the stench Of the bitter remains of the creature that was you Every word is a bullet aimed straight for the throat We are two starving dogs fighting over a bone There is no mercy left in this hollowed out house Just the sound of the spite as we rot here alone [Verse] I watch you dismantle the ghost of our grace With a hammer and a tongue that is coated in lye You look like a stranger wearing a familiar face Looking for a brand new way to watch me die Go ahead and tell the neighbors your version of hell Paint me as the villain in your cheap little play But the mirror does not lie when you stare it down At the wreckage you managed to scatter today [Verse] There is a fever in the air when we enter the room A malice so thick it could choke out the light We used to be a garden now we are a tomb Feeding on the darkness in the middle of the night I hope you find a harbor that is made out of thorns Since you love the feel of the blood on your skin We are finished with the rituals of being reborn Now the demolition of the heart can begin [Chorus] We are tearing the wallpaper off of the soul Leaving the jagged scars out for the world to view I am digging a trench just to get away from the stench Of the bitter remains of the creature that was you Every word is a bullet aimed straight for the throat We are two starving dogs fighting over a bone There is no mercy left in this hollowed out house Just the sound of the spite as we rot here alone [Chorus] We are tearing the wallpaper off of the soul Leaving the jagged scars out for the world to view I am digging a trench just to get away from the stench Of the bitter remains of the creature that was you Every word is a bullet aimed straight for the throat We are two starving dogs fighting over a bone There is no mercy left in this hollowed out house Just the sound of the spite as we rot here alone [Outro]
