Smile With Teeth - Husbandry

So now it’s come to this

The hanging by a thread somehow

I make my way down

It’s not easy to admit

But my hand did twist the doorknob

When demons came ‘round

Like lovers tangled and bound

They lead me on and on

Splinter burn out. Found faith underground

Wither cast out

I know anguish, I do

I’ve got cinder blocks for ankles

I’ve blackish carbon where a heart should go

Splinter burn out. Found faith underground

Wither cast out

I know anguish, I do

I’m the crowbar I’m the shovel

Digging myself in I crumble below

Like a pet caught in a chokehold

Well I’ve been at fault, predestined to hell

Burdened all along, at least I’m honest

And I greet with open arms all that flames reveal

Showing that no one can keep a promise

Choking on the smoke I care to force a smile

You know it’s always better if you pretend to look alive

Cuz we’re all in on the joke that we’re constantly just sinking

Better not look deep inside never let them catch you slipping

Choking on the smoke I care to force a smile

Hatred in disguise Twisting up my mind

Fail to compromise, blind leading the blind

I sink, I sink down

Hatred in disguise

Twisting up my mind

I cannot seem to make an attempt at all

Word lose their meaning, I start to bend and fall

I cannot seem to distinguish right from wrong

My knees have weakened and they’re bleeding

It won’t let go

I’ve got a choice but I can’t see it

It won’t let go

Will I survive if I don’t feed it?
