Bad Blood

Grieve that your body’s so worm-eaten inside

Crawling with infection, fed by your lies

Drop into the pit you dug with your pride

Now you’re nothing but a slave

You polish yourself

As if you were a monument

Reaching high like a tower to hell

And the ground concedes

Pulled from the earth like rotting roots

Purge the demons draining your veins

Pride in your heart deceives you

Dragged from the depths of a dying world

Purge the demons draining your veins

Pride in your heart deceives you

Keep your teeth before your tongue

Or you’ll claw for divinity

Your filthy rags: a disgusting crown

The offspring of an unhealed wound

You wear your skin like a scoured corpse

After you heave you return like a dog

Pulled from the earth like rotting roots

Purge the demons draining your veins

Pride in your heart deceives you

Dragged from the depths of a dying world

Purge the demons draining your veins

Pride in your heart deceives you

Keep your teeth before your tongue

Or you’ll claw for divinity

Your filthy rags: a disgusting crown

The offspring of an unhealed wound

You had love

But your heart is not your own

Grace is not beyond you

But you walked away

The heavens will expose you

Hell-bent on destruction

Hell-bent on escape

Show us there’s nowhere to hide

Show us fear
