Fangless

Lyrics

Sharp teeth in a broken jaw
 Hungry, but I'll hunger on
 And the hours I waste
 While I fake a grace
 That no one will ever see
 And I practice tests
 And a usefulness
 That I no longer need
 Did you forget we once saw you as grand
 A beast and a savior, a mountain, a man
 Grew from a speck to be worshipped and crowned
 Now you're flimsy and fangless, drooping and drowned
 But I know that you made me, sick for you like a rabid dog
 And your lies rearranged me, broke me down but I'm not undone
 ♪
 Clenched fist on a dangling arm
 Fight's over, but I'll fight on
 Where's the evidence
 The scars, the dents
 That I was ever here?
 I've been reassigned
 Put back in line
 With the other disappeared
 ♪
 But I know that you claim me
 I give in, I'm your ragged doll
 You were born in a shout
 But you will die in a silent skull
