Return of the Nephilim

Verse 1

Woke up with my knuckles split

Scraped raw on a wall I built

You were gone before the sun could crawl

Left the sheet still warm and the door half shut

I screamed your name till my throat went numb

Nobody answered but the pipes and the hum

Seven weeks I've been chewing glass

Tasting you in every cut I pass

Pre-Chorus

I dug down where the water runs red

Buried every sorry that I never said

I dug down past the bone and the root

Found something older wearing my face

Chorus

I'm the return of the nephilim

Half a god and half a filthy man

I'm the return of the nephilim

Crawl back up with your name in my hand

I'm the return of the nephilim

Tear the sky just to feel you again

Again

Again

Verse 2

Mama said don't play with what won't die

I laughed and I lit the fuse

Now I'm a wound that learned to walk

Dragging your ghost through a crowded room

I'd burn a thousand cities down

Just to hear you call me a waste

I'd break my own jaw on the curb

If it meant you'd stay and watch me break

Pre-Chorus

I dug down where the water runs red

Swallowed every promise that I never kept

I dug down past the flesh and the stone

Pulled out a heart that beats for no one

Chorus

I'm the return of the nephilim

Half a god and half a filthy man

I'm the return of the nephilim

Crawl back up with your name in my hand

I'm the return of the nephilim

Tear the sky just to feel you again

Again

Again

Bridge

No one

No one

No one waits for the monster

No one

No one

No one prays for the son

I was made to want you

Made to want you

Made to want you and rot

Breakdown

Bleed out

Bleed out

Say my name while you bleed out

Bleed out

Bleed out

I am nothing when you leave now

Chorus

I'm the return of the nephilim

Half a god and half a filthy man

I'm the return of the nephilim

Crawl back up with your name in my hand

I'm the return of the nephilim

Tear the sky just to feel you again

Again

Again

Outro

Again

Again

Nothing when you leave now

Nothing when you leave
