Born With My Fist Clenched

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

I was born with my fist already clenched

Cut the cord and bit the hand that held it

Every cradle I have touched is a shallow grave

Every lover's pillow soaked in something red

Pre-Chorus

You want the truth I'll carve it out of you

You want a saint go find a fucking church

I am the thing your mother warned you about

I am the reason that your god looks away

Chorus

I am the wound that will not close

I am the rot beneath your clothes

Fuck your mercy fuck your prayers

I am everything you fear

I am the wound that will not close

Post-Chorus

(Die) Die with my name in your mouth

(Die) Die and I'll never let go

Verse 2

I have buried more than I have ever held

Counted bodies like a rosary of meat

There's a hollow where my conscience used to live

And I fill it with the screaming of the weak

Pre-Chorus

Don't you beg it only makes it sweeter

Don't you run I love it when you try

I am the itch inside your ugly skin

I am the answer to your worst design

Chorus

I am the wound that will not close

I am the rot beneath your clothes

Fuck your mercy fuck your prayers

I am everything you fear

I am the wound that will not close

Post-Chorus

(Die) Die with my name in your mouth

(Die) Die and I'll never let go

Bridge

Turn the blade around and taste it

Turn the blade around and carve my own name in

I do this to myself I do this to myself

Watch me bleed and call it fucking holy

Watch me bleed and call it fucking mine

Breakdown

I am not sick I am not broken

I am not sorry I am not yours

I am not sick I am not broken

I am the silence after the storm

Burn it down burn it down burn it all

Chorus

I am the wound that will not close

I am the rot beneath your clothes

Fuck your mercy fuck your prayers

I am everything you fear

I am the wound that will not close

Post-Chorus

(Die) Die with my name in your mouth

(Die) Die and I'll never let go
