Iron Reign

Sewed the seams on the mouth of a loaded gun,

Counting down to the days that we haven't won.

In the back of the class with a quiet scream,

Living out the teeth of a broken dream.

They tell us to smile while the basement burns,

Watch the clock as the stomach turns.

Locked the door, swallowed down the key,

This little ghost belongs to me.

And it burns in the chest like a toxic wave,

Digging a hole for a premature grave!

So give me the gasoline,

give me the match,

I’m a ticking time bomb with a broken latch!

Bottled-up thunder, a blackout mind,

Leaving the wreckage of youth behind.

Oh, let it out,

let it bleed, Just give me the static and the remedy!

Mirror-shard eyes in a bathroom stall,

Writing secret threats on a hospital wall.

Swallowed every word that they said to keep,

Now the monsters crawl while the neighbors sleep.

Got a fistful of nails and a hollow stare,

Breathing in smoke in an empty chair.

They want it polite,

they want it quiet and small,

I’d rather watch the ceiling fall.

Are you listening now?

Are you watching me break?

How much more of this poison do you think I can take?

It’s a riot inside,

it’s a permanent scar,

Look at how messed up and angry we are!

One, two, three, four!

So give me the gasoline,

give me the match,

I’m a ticking time bomb with a broken latch!

Bottled-up thunder, a blackout mind,

Leaving the wreckage of youth behind.

Oh, let it out,

let it bleed, Just give me the static and the remedy!

Let it burn! Let it burn down to the floor!

We aren't keeping our secrets anymore.

Just noise. Just static.

Just let me out. (ahhhh)
