SOFT SPINE

Intro — whispered / distorted

You said I was the wolf

in the skin of a sheep,

Now I will show you

what a serpent is in the god's skin.

Verse 1

You wear your halo

like a knife in the throat

Lipstick stained scripture

stitched inside your coat

Pretty little serpent

with a mouth full of blame

Crawling through my bloodstream

screaming out my name

You loved me better

when my pulse was weak

When I stayed silent

with my broken teeth

Now the mirrors crack

every time you speak

And the static in my head

finally learned to scream

Pre-Chorus

You wanna carve my name

in the back of your spine

Like a sickness you can never cut out

You built your throne

from my collapse

Now watch it rot from the inside out

Chorus

Soft spine

Bend until your bones divide

Cry wolf while

the parasites feed inside

You can wash your hands in holy water

Still smell the blood

every fucking night

Soft spine

Verse 2

I still hear your voice in the walls at night

Like rats chewing wires in fluorescent light

Every promise tasted metallic and dead

Like kissing razor blades in a hospital bed

You wanted violence without the scar

Wanted control without going too far

But I saw the hunger behind your grin

A cemetery dressed in porcelain skin

Pre-Breakdown

I hope you feel me underneath your skin

Like when God refusing to listen me

YOUNG SYKE

BREAKDOWN

YOU DON’T GET TO SLEEP PEACEFULLY

AFTER TURNING MY HEART

INTO A CRIME SCENE

I HOPE YOUR SHADOW

FOLLOWS YOU HOME

I HOPE THE SILENCE

BREAKS YOUR FUCKING BONES

NO ANGELS LEFT TO HIDE BEHIND

JUST YOU

AND THE MONSTER

YOU LEFT ALIVE INSIDE MY MIND

Outro — melodic / eerie

Soft spine…

You bent until you disappeared

And I became

Everything you feared.
