The Mess You Made

Verse 1

Salt circle

Scuffed on the basement floorboards

Hand trembling

Matches

Won't strike

Dry throat and sulfur breath

Stupid boy

Playing with the iron gate keys

I warned you

I really did

Chorus

Now you're screaming in the corner

While the shadows grow teeth

It's too late for the holy water

It's too late to believe

You pulled the pin

And threw the grenade

Now we're both gonna burn

In the mess you made

In the mess you made

Post-Chorus

Burn it down

Burn it down

Down

Down

Verse 2

Black smoke

Choking out the rafters

Cold sweat

Heavy

Dripping off your chin

Stupid

Reckless

Angry little man

Look what you invited in

Ripped the veil

Tore the seams

Left me staring at the red eyes

Of your worst dreams

Chorus

Now you're screaming in the corner

While the shadows grow teeth

It's too late for the holy water

It's too late to believe

You pulled the pin

And threw the grenade

Now we're both gonna burn

In the mess you made

In the mess you made

Post-Chorus

Burn it down

Burn it down

Down

Down

Bridge

Cut the palms

Spill the ink

Watch it sink

Watch it sink

Watch it sink

Why would you do this

Why would you call him

Why would you let him through

The door is open

The lock is broken

The floor is smoking

Now he's looking at you

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Now you're screaming in the corner

While the shadows grow teeth

It's too late for the holy water

It's too late to believe

You pulled the pin

And threw the grenade

Now we're both gonna burn

In the mess you made

In the mess you made

Outro

Salt circle broken

Gate wide open

He's here

He's here

Run

Run

Just run

Too late

Too late

Too late
