[Verse 1] Black sky Cracked earth Rust towers leaning like teeth We trade bullets for bread Old bones under our feet Engines coughing dust Maps burned into our skin Every mile we steal Is another way to sin [Chorus] Ash and gasoline Only the strong still breathe Chasing one more spark Through the wreckage of a dead machine Ash and gasoline Run till your lungs both bleed If you fall behind You feed the hunger of the things that feed [Verse 2] Low light Dead town Shells of houses Gutted and gray We speak in quiet code Keep every footprint erased Metal on the wind Their smell before their sound Teeth in a smiling mask Claws dragging on the ground [Chorus] [Bridge] [whispered vocals] Count the cans Count the cuts Count the names we couldn’t keep [low vocal register] Hear them scrape the concrete Hear them sniff for meat We sleep in shifts Blades by our teeth Hear that engine down the valley? Hope or a trap We’ll bleed to find out [Chorus]
