[Verse 1: JT Cavey]
Cold world, make my stomach turn
Fire burns eternal, endless war
Smoke clearing out wolves in a paper house

[Chorus: JT Cavey]
We cut the wicked tongue
We tie the noose you've hung
We see the boundless harm
Petrified hands, broken hearts

[Post-Chorus: Jesse Cash]
(Treading water)
(Scorpion on my back)
(Onset of paralysis)

[Verse 2: JT Cavey]
I stand transfixed upon my own reflection
Unacquainted with the one that stands before me
Assembled with such careful calculation
Arе you the man that you claim to be?

[Breakdown: JT Cavey]
A dream oncе hopeful, now a conduit of self-hatred
Left in a timeworn tomb of destinations once held sacred
The shifting serpent
Slithering in eternal shadow
[Chorus: JT Cavey]
We cut the wicked tongue
We tie the noose you've hung
We see the boundless harm
Petrified hands, broken hearts

[Post-Chorus: JT Cavey]
Make my stomach turn

[Outro: JT Cavey]
You endorsed the hurt
Now you must live with the shame
