Grind You Down

[Verse 1] The ashes chafe between my fingernails The cigarettes have stained my skin My lungs are sore from breathing in these chemicals I thrive inside this life of sin My bones are rotten to the marrow inside My veins are coursing only ice A heart of steel beats inside of my chest Temptation is my only vice [Pre-Chorus] Grind you down and grind you down and Grind you down and grind you down (Gonna grind you down) Grind you down and grind you down and Grind you down and grind you down (Gonna grind you down) Grind your body down [Chorus] I can remember the last time December The snow that comes falling, it washes away I'll live forever, the wings of a feather Will carry me on to the next victory [Verse 2] The smell of death fills up my nostrils like wine My eyes have slowly turned to stone My jackals terrorize the enemy lines Chewing on their muscle and bone Exact a pound of flesh to bring some justice My other generals start to cheer 'Cause victory has shined a light upon us Death is in the rearview mirror [Pre-Chorus] Grind you down and grind you down and Grind you down and grind you down (Gonna grind you down) Grind you down and grind you down and Grind you down and grind you down (Gonna grind you down) Grind your body down [Chorus] I can remember the last time December The snow that comes falling, it washes away I'll live forever, the wings of a feather Will carry us off to the next victory [Bridge 1] The burning feeling in my stomach Starts to ache The sweat begins to bead Uncertainties awake My body's holding And it's folding to the floor Fight back alpha evermore [Bridge 2] 'Cause something's wrong Cause for alarm Authorities are here to harm [Bridge 3] Carve your path Not one step fucking back Stand your ground Don't let them grind you down Say, "No more" Ring out our righteous roar Stand your ground Don't let them grind you down [Refrain] Grind you down and [Pre-Chorus] Grind you down and grind you down (Gonna grind you down) Grind your body down [Chorus] I can remember the last time December The snow that comes falling, it washes away I'll live forever, the wings of a feather Will carry me unto the next victory [Post-Chorus] 'Cause something's wrong It's now cause for our alarm [Outro] Carve your path Not one step fucking back Stand your ground Don't let them grind you down
