leeches v8 (Elucid33 Cover)

There’s a sickness under my tongue Every word comes out half-loaded like a gun I don’t walk in peace, I arrive like smoke Every room gets colder the second I spoke I learned real young how to sharpen my teeth How to smile while I buried somebody beneath Every bruise in my head grew claws in the dark Now I leave little burns on whoever gets close enough to spark I don’t trust love, I don’t trust names Every hand that reached me came holding a blade So I turned into one, now I cut on reflex Every bridge behind me’s a pile of wrecks And I know they see it in my eyes That violent little static I can’t hide I’m a creature of spite, built bitter and awake Dragging everybody down with the noise that I make I want the whole world choking on the hate that I taste If I’m going down burning, I’ll burn down the place I’m a mouth full of venom, a pulse full of rot Every good thing I touch comes undone on the spot I don’t know how to love, only how to consume So I poison the air in every room I keep ghosts in my ribs like nails in a wall Every memory screams when the night starts to fall I hear old voices every time that I sleep Saying nobody stays and nobody keeps So I laugh too loud, and I drink too fast Try to outrun every piece of my past But the hate keeps pace like a chain on my feet Every mile just drags me deeper underneath And I swear I tried to let it die But rage is the only thing keeping me alive I’m a creature of spite, built bitter and awake Dragging everybody down with the noise that I make I want the whole world choking on the hate that I taste If I’m going down burning, I’ll burn down the place I’m a mouth full of venom, a pulse full of rot Every good thing I touch comes undone on the spot I don’t know how to love, only how to consume So I poison the air in every room I can feel my heart beat wrong in my chest Like it’s trying to escape but got lost in the wreck Every scar turned scripture carved into bone Telling me I was safer completely alone So if I sound cruel, if I sound insane It’s because hatred’s the only thing that stayed I’m a creature of spite, built bitter and awake Dragging everybody down with the noise that I make I want the whole world choking on the hate that I taste If I’m going down burning, I’ll burn down the place I’m the smoke in the hall and the crack in the glass I’m the shadow that lingers when happiness passed I don’t reach for the light, I let darkness bloom And I poison the air in every room.
