[Intro] [guitar solo, feedback roaring] Steel doors slam Red light hums Footsteps echo Breath like smoke [Verse 1] Trap laid tight in the slaughterhouse Paper crown on a rusted throne False god smile in the TV glass Sells our chains as a way back home We march in line, barcode halos Ink still wet on the branded skin They call this order, call it mercy Call it “good” while the walls close in [Pre-Chorus] Freedom gone, they twist the word Every screen says “trust, comply” Hands up high, but not in praise Just to prove we’re tagged, defined [Chorus] Slaughterhouse Slaughterhouse They raise us just to break us down Slaughterhouse Slaughterhouse We’re screaming but it blends into the sound [Verse 2] Blood on boots, on the exit sign Cold air bites through the factory grime Eyes turned glass, hearts turned quiet We were set up for the slaughter, kept in silence Clipboard fate in a clerk’s soft hands Click one box and erase our names We shuffle forward, colder, number by number Trying hard to feel anything [Bridge] Break out, run Sirens claw at the back of my skull Don’t look back, run If you turn, you turn to salt in the flood Break out, run Chain-link rattles like it wants to live Don’t look back, run Every step is a promise you give [Pre-Chorus] Freedom gone, they twist the word Every screen says “trust, comply” Hands up high, but not in praise Just to prove we’re tagged, defined [Chorus] (Slaughterhouse Slaughterhouse They raise us just to break us down Slaughterhouse Slaughterhouse We’re screaming but it blends into the sound) [Outro] [guitar solo, dragging into a final bend] Slaughterhouse Echo fades in the metal and bone
