Skull on My Chest

[Verse 1] Black boots on the stair Door kicks, then I’m there Name marked on the list Cold stare, clenched fist I don’t talk for the crowd I move quiet, move loud Got a scar where I start Got a war in my heart Your boys fold fast When the truth don’t last Every lie you sold Comes back tenfold I’ve been buried alive Still I rise, still I drive If you want that smoke Then you know what it cost [Pre-Chorus] Say my name, then run Hear that drum, then run Every mark I trace Ends in one black place No peace, no grace Just a cold dead face When the night gets thin I’m already in [Chorus] Skull on my chest Skull on my chest I don’t need rest Skull on my chest Skull on my chest Skull on my chest You can’t outlast Skull on my chest [Verse 2] You hide in a suit Talk slick, act cute But I read those hands Like I read bad plans All those hush-hush deals All those fake holy feels I seen good men break For a pocket full of snakes So I cut through the fog Like a blade through the cloth No crown, no throne Just a debt I own If you came for the prey Better pray it goes quick I’m the last thing seen When the lights go sick [Pre-Chorus] Say my name, then run Hear that drum, then run Every mark I trace Ends in one black place No peace, no grace Just a cold dead face When the night gets thin I’m already in [Chorus] Skull on my chest Skull on my chest I don’t need rest Skull on my chest Skull on my chest Skull on my chest You can’t outlast Skull on my chest [Bridge] I was built from grief Sharp teeth, no sleep Every wound I kept Turned into a rep Now the walls come down When I hit that ground No more pleading eyes No more pretty lies [Chorus] Skull on my chest Skull on my chest I don’t need rest Skull on my chest Skull on my chest Skull on my chest You can’t outlast Skull on my chest
