Intro] You beat me down… I climbed back up. You buried me deep… I came out with nails and Target on my back, I’ve been running too long Carrying guilt that never felt like it belonged Hunted and preyed on, they swore it was right After years in the dark I finally broke through the night Slipped into shadows, became who I’m meant to be You came creeping back — let’s play hide and seek That boy you devoured is dead, figurative and physical Met my shadow, learned its name — now we’re one and invincible You came again like you always do Thought you could finish what you started But this time I ain’t the prey This time the hunter’s awakened You beat me down — I climbed back up! You pushed me back — I jump to the front! You buried me deep — I climbed out… nails and teeth! Nails and teeth! Nails and teeth! You thought you killed the light But the shadow learned to bite You buried me deep — I climbed out… nails and teeth! That boy you swallowed whole is gone in every way Figurative corpse, physical decay Ate me alive from the inside, tore through the pain Found out we’re the same — no more war in my brain The guilt wasn’t mine, the chains weren’t my design I integrated the dark, now the power is mine You can’t bury what already died and revived Nails dug in the dirt, teeth ready to thrive You came back for round two, thought I’d still hide But I’m the shadow in the dark you should feel tonight The boy is dead — long live what survived We are not your victim, we are not your prey We the teeth in the night, remember every day Every scar, every lie, every time you tried to break Now the monster and the man walk the same damn way You beat me down — I climbed back up! You pushed me back — I jump to the front! You buried me deep — I climbed out… nails and teeth! Nails and teeth! Nails and teeth! You thought you broke the child But you only woke the wild You buried me deep — I climbed out… nails and You beat me down — I climbed back up! You pushed me back — I jump to the front! You buried me deep — I climbed out… nails and teeth! Nails and teeth! Nails and teeth! You thought you killed the light But the shadow learned to bite You buried me deep — I climbed out… nails and teeth! (Both voices together, softer and more intimate on the close) That boy you ate is dead… And I’m still here… One in the same… Nails and teeth.
