Bite The Dark

Silver wolves beneath my skin
Gnawing holes they crawl within
Paper wings that never land
Falling faster than I stand
Every sunrise feels like lead
Painted gold but burning red
Cold reflections in the glass
Show a face I can’t outlast

Bite the dark
Kill the light
Hear the scream
Lose the fight
No more dream

Rusty halos, thorn-made crowns
Turn my pulse to haunted sounds
Every heartbeat, borrowed fuel
Feeding fires I can’t unrule
Truth gets filtered into dust
Hope corrodes, then turns to rust
Whispers crawl behind my eyes
Selling comfort dressed in lies

Bite the dark
Kill the light
Hear the scream
Lose the fight
No more dream

I built a kingdom made of fumes
Smiled while tearing out the rooms
The throne is warm, the floor is cold
I'm the king who won’t grow old

Empty saints and loaded sins
Trade my marrow for new skins
I keep digging through the ache
For a truth I know is fake
Every mirror stays unkind
Shows the cage I left behind
Still I knock, but never leave
Still I bleed, but never grieve

Bite the dark
Kill the light
Hear the scream
Lose the fight
No more dream

Bite the dark
Kill the light
Hear the scream
Lose the fight
No more dream
No more dream
