lyrics
[Verse 1]
Boot prints
In the drywall
Laughing as the Sunday sermons
Crack and fall
Coffee cold
On the dashboard
Another promise
Torched in the rearview
[Chorus]
I’ve got ashes in my teeth
Breathing in the bridges that I burned last week
Let it scrape
Let it sting
Let it tear my speech
I chew the past
Till the past chews me
Ashes in my teeth
Ashes in my teeth
[Verse 2]
Clock hands
Like barbed wire
Digging in my wrists
Every endless shift
Name tag
Like a choke chain
Smiling while the rage
Carves my ribs
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Knuckles split on the bathroom sink
Red in the porcelain
Nowhere to blink
If this is the cage then I’m rust in the lock
Teeth on the metal
I bite till it pops [guitar solo]
[Chorus]
Boot prints
In the drywall
Laughing as the Sunday sermons
Crack and fall
Coffee cold
On the dashboard
Another promise
Torched in the rearview
[Chorus]
I’ve got ashes in my teeth
Breathing in the bridges that I burned last week
Let it scrape
Let it sting
Let it tear my speech
I chew the past
Till the past chews me
Ashes in my teeth
Ashes in my teeth
[Verse 2]
Clock hands
Like barbed wire
Digging in my wrists
Every endless shift
Name tag
Like a choke chain
Smiling while the rage
Carves my ribs
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Knuckles split on the bathroom sink
Red in the porcelain
Nowhere to blink
If this is the cage then I’m rust in the lock
Teeth on the metal
I bite till it pops [guitar solo]
[Chorus]
音乐风格
metal, Modern heavy metal with drop-tuned guitars, tight palm-muted chugs, and double-kick bursts. Verses grind mid-tempo with snarled male vocals; chorus lifts into a soaring melodic hook over wide rhythm guitars and bass that punches through. Brief halftime breakdown in the bridge with dissonant bends, then a shreddy twin-guitar lead back into the final chorus.
