Barbed Teeth

How shorts the chain
before teeth meets skin
Become a fixture for doubt
That won't cave in
Find pride in suffering
And all I need to be
Among the thorns
I refuse to bleed

See weakness from the outside
Watch bone cave in
They claw and claw
They fight their way back in

I refuse to be the fool
For a world that doesn't want me
I found the strength
And now nothing will haunt me

Through the razor wire
I cut my teeth
Just a void
You never want to meet
In the loss of light
Became all I'm meant to be
Its all or nothing
And I refuse to plead

Pull the chain
Send me back
The harder the bite
The softer the gnaw
You could've set me free.

I refuse to be the fool
For a world that doesn't want me
I found the strength
And now nothing will haunt me

Felt the weight for long enough
Bit my tongue when things got rough
Theres strength when all you know is doubt
You dragged me in
Now I cut my way back out.
