Ink and Arteries

Verse 1

Shatter the jaw

Tongues tied tight with wire

Blood on the black ink

No more breath for the weak

Silence is a sharpened blade

Chorus

Stitch it shut

Rip the throat

Buried deep under the dirt

Stitch it shut

Rip the throat

Buried deep under the dirt

Post-Chorus

Burn the page

Bleed it out

Burn the page

Bleed it out

Verse 2

Cut the cable

Pull the plugs on the masses

Iron fists gripping tight

Your thoughts are now crimes

They feed us famine through a silver wire

Broken minds and bitter blades

Watch the temple tumble down

Total control over the pulse

Chorus

Stitch it shut

Rip the throat

Buried deep under the dirt

Stitch it shut

Rip the throat

Buried deep under the dirt

Post-Chorus

Burn the page

Bleed it out

Burn the page

Bleed it out

Guitar Solo

Bridge

Cut the tongue

Cut the nerve

Cut the line

I hear nothing

I see nothing

I speak nothing

Cold concrete over the mouth

Chorus

Stitch it shut

Rip the throat

Buried deep under the dirt

Stitch it shut

Rip the throat

Buried deep under the dirt

Outro

Fading to grey

Empty noise

Left in the hollow

Nothing remains

Absolute quiet
