Ash in My Teeth

Spit nails

Tongue tastes rust

Every promise that you made

Turned straight to dust

Bare hands

On a sharpened truth

You carved your name into my back

Then called it proof

I’ve got ash in my teeth from the bridges you burned

Scars on my skin from the lessons I learned

You set the sky on fire just to say you were free

Now you’re smoke in my lungs

Just a ghost in my scream

Cold grin

When the damage lands

You light a match and watch it spread

Like it was all planned

Thin ice

Where my patience sank

You watched me claw for solid ground

Then pulled me back

I’ve got ash in my teeth from the bridges you burned

Scars on my skin from the lessons I learned

You set the sky on fire just to say you were free

Now you’re smoke in my lungs

Just a ghost in my scream

[Guitars drop to a low

Grinding riff]

Say my name

With a mouth full of lies (hey!)

You built your throne

On the backs of goodbyes

I broke the chains

Now I’m breaking the crown

You wanted me buried

I’m dragging you out

I’ve got ash in my teeth from the bridges you burned

Scars on my skin from the lessons I learned

You set the sky on fire

Thought you’d swallow the sea

But I walked through your hell

And it’s you who’s beneath

Ash in my teeth

But I still breathe

You were the wound

I’m the one that heals (woah)
