Meat on Its Knees

V6

[Intro] [Wind Howling, Heavy Wet Breathing, Crackling Branches] ​[Verse 1] [Distorted Bass, Slow Driving Beat] The moon bleeds silver through the suffocating dark A pale blind eye in a sky choked dead You feel the instinct clawing at your neck The phantom pressure where the blood runs red Footsteps shatter every frozen twig A heavy stride that doesn't care to hide Your pulse is screaming against your throat There is no shadow where a life can hide ​[Chorus] [Explosive Guitar Drop, deep vocals] It's hungry it's starving it's hunting tonight Jaws unhinged in the flickering light Hear the wet bone snap hear the lungs tear free You're not a person you're just meat on its knees Run through the briars choke on your air Run all you want it is already there ​[Verse 2] [Aggressive Industrial Beats, Piercing Synth] Branches strip the flesh right off your face The black fog thickens as the ribs cave in You taste hot copper on your swollen tongue And hear the sinew popping under skin Two yellow lanterns burning through the oak Not eyes of a beast but a fevered grin It doesn't want to kill you for the thrill It wants to feel you dying from within ​[Pre-Chorus] [Fast Double-Bass Drums, Rising Tension] The weight crashes down like an iron beam Claws tear open what is left of your throat Silence dies in a sickening spray As the black blood fills your dripping coat ​[Build] [Accelerating Tempo, Heavy Distortion] The scent of copper fills the air The jaw snaps shut There's no escape The kill is near ​[Chorus] [Maximum Volume, deep Vocals, Heavy Metal Riff] It's hungry it's starving it's hunting tonight Jaws unhinged in the flickering light Hear the wet bone snap hear the lungs tear free You're not a person you're just meat on its knees Run through the briars choke on your air Run all you want it is already there ​[Bridge] [Chaotic Guitar Solo, Heavy Blast Beats] The howl isn't human the howl is a tear In the fabric of everything sacred and pure It licks at the terror that drips from your chin There is no salvation there is no cure One final crush of the windpipe down The twitching stops and the forest drowns ​[Chorus] [Final Violent Drop, Wall of Sound] It's hungry it's starving it's hunting tonight Jaws unhinged in the flickering light Hear the wet bone snap hear the lungs tear free You're not a person you're just meat on its knees Run through the briars choke on your air Run all you want it is already there ​[Outro] [Heavy Slow Drums, Wet Chewing Sound FX, Deep Bass Drone] [Guttural Whisper] It's already there [Fade to silence]
