BEAST THAT BINDS

Punk horror, industrial metal; 148 BPM driving double-time mechanical snare march; detuned power chords and distorted bass guitar lock to drum machine doubles and sampled metal hits, then hit a stomp-clap breakdown; spoken word intro gives way to male baritone shouted vocals and a gang chant chorus; buzzsaw guitar tone, cold room reverb, tape saturation, analog grit; ominous defiance through the final chorus

[Verse 1] Something crawled inside my ribcage late last fall and choose the quiet hours rust and rope and rotten teeth It knows my name before I say it Lock the door and bolt the window Still it breathes beneath my skin Cross my heart and hope to hollow It is patient, it will win [Chorus] Beast that binds me, beast that binds Every leash I cut it binds me, beast that binds Claw, claw, clawing in Claw, claw, clawing in [Verse 2] I'd fed it scraps of who I used to be Now it dines on everything So my shadow to the wall, watch it stretch and swallow all Shut my eyes and count to seven, feeling grinning in my spine Dig a grave and call it heaven It is patient, it is mine [Chorus] Beast that binds me, beast that binds Every leash I cut it binds me, beast that binds Claw, claw, clawing in Claw, claw, clawing in [Bridge] Tear it out, tear it out, it grows back twice as loud Tear it out, tear it out, I am the cage, I am the crowd Bow, bow, bow to the teeth Bow, bow, bound underneath Break the bone and it will breathe Break the bone and it will breathe [Chorus] Beast that binds me, beast that binds Every leash I cut it binds me, beast that binds Claw, claw, clawing in Claw, claw, clawing in
