[Intro] [Guitar solo over stuttering chugs, kick drilling in trips] (yeah) Jaw wired to the grind Red cursor on my wrist Clock carving up my time [Verse 1] I’m a kill-switch kid with a brick in the code Every scar on my arm like a barcode, load In the back of the car, duct-taped ego Smile in the mugshot, tag: "there he go" Blacklisted, back-twisted, chewing on glass Every "maybe you should quit" pinned under the mask I don’t owe you clean I don’t owe you calm I just owe the graveyard one more song (one more song) [Chorus] I’m your liability Chain around your pretty little certainty You can dress me up in your decency But I bleed through, bleed through, endlessly I’m your liability Burn mark on your perfect history Every time you try to bury me I come back, come back Louder than your dignity (hey!) [Verse 2] I’m the glitch in the grin at the family feast Seat at the table, leash on the beast You pray I behave, but I sharpen my teeth On the edge of the plate, on the gossip you breathe I’m the wrong kind of truth when the cameras spin Got receipts in the seams of my dead man’s skin You built that throne on the backs you broke I’m the rumor that finally learned to choke (up) You don’t want a mirror, you just want a screen I show up and flicker-cut you out of the scene Every lie you stacked Every name you used I’m the fuse you snapped, and I came unglued [Pre-Chorus] You wrote me off in red pen Crossed my face from your plans Yet here I stand, ink on your hands (on your hands) [Chorus] I’m your liability Chain around your pretty little certainty You can dress me up in your decency But I bleed through, bleed through, endlessly I’m your liability Burn mark on your perfect history Every time you try to bury me I come back, come back Louder than your dignity [Bridge] [Beat slams into half-time; distant choral pads swell, sub growls] (cut the lights) I am not your cure I am not your calm I’m the crack in the pill I’m the rot in the balm (low growls) Your halo’s plastic Mine’s gasoline You strike the match I drink the flame, I drink it clean Every "love you" laced with fear You don’t want my truth, just disappear You built this cage in my ID Stamped it big across my psyche (screamed) LI-A-BIL-I-TY That’s the brand you burned in me I flipped the script Now it’s your turn bleeding [Chorus] [Band slams back to full speed thrash] I’m your liability Chain around your pretty little certainty You can dress me up in your decency But I bleed through, bleed through, endlessly I’m your liability Burn mark on your perfect history Every time you try to bury me I come back, come back Louder than your dignity [Outro] [Full-band thrash barrage; vocals fracture and stack] I’m the crack in your crown (liability) I’m the weight that drags you down (liability) You can’t cash me out, can’t file me clean I’m the fault line under your dream (hey, hey) (screamed, overlapping) Write me off Cross me out Still my name In your mouth (glitched ad-libs ripping through) (liabili—liabili—broken) (can’t contain me) (you created me) (now live with me)
