Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Wake up Rust in my lungs Blood on the mirror Name comes out in tongues Cold hands Gripping the sink Heart like a war drum Brain on the brink [Chorus] I’ve got ash in my teeth From the bridges I keep burning (burning) Every promise that I made Just another wheel turning If I drown in what I’ve done Let the river run beneath I won’t beg to be forgiven With this ash in my teeth [Verse 2] Knife edge Sleep on the floor Dreams crawl sideways Under the door You said “Change or you’ll break” I broke just to prove it Bones for the stake [Chorus] I’ve got ash in my teeth From the bridges I keep burning (burning) Every promise that I made Just another wheel turning If I drown in what I’ve done Let the river run beneath I won’t beg to be forgiven With this ash in my teeth [Bridge] [Breakdown – guitars drop to chugs Drums half-time Guttural screams] Bite down Taste the grave I am the wound I am the blade Bite down Spit it out Carve my curse Into the drought (hey!) [Chorus] I’ve got ash in my teeth From the bridges I keep burning (burning) Every promise that I made Just another wheel turning If I drown in what I’ve done Let the river run beneath I won’t beg to be forgiven With this ash in my teeth

metal, Modern metalcore with drop-tuned guitars, sharp palm-muted chugs and dissonant leads, double-kick bursts, and screamed male vocals on verses. Chorus opens into soaring clean vocals with wide, anthemic chords and sub drops. Breakdowns hit with syncopated riffs, china crashes, and gang shouts on key lines, ending in a half-time stomp.
