Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Watch them sleep
The cold voice in my head warns
There's no time left for death
Just calm your heart
[Verse 2]
Run the rat trap, closing the distance
Baring teeth, you're tasting the cage
No one knows the truth like the victims
Only the hangman will remain
[Verse 3]
I'm the monster in your motorcade
Watch the system shut down
Carve out a constellation in your name
[Verse 4]
Blood is thick on my mind
Dance with me now
Cut the quick, I'll take my time
Slow you down
[Verse 5]
Run the rat trap, closing the distance
Baring teeth, you're tasting the cage
No one knows the truth like the victims
Only the hangman will remain
[Verse 6]
I'm the monster in your motorcade
Watch the system shut down
Carve out a constellation in your name
So sharpen your knives to cut me out
I'm a shadow in the hurricane
Watch the system shut down
I'll be the monster in your motorcade
[Verse 7]
All the faces of my failure
They come for me at night
Darkness is a friend to me
In silhouette against the light
[Verse 8]
Sharpen your knives
Sharpen your knives
Sharpen your knives
Sharpen your knives
[Verse 9]
Cut me out
Cut me out
Yeah, sharpen your knives
To cut me out
Cut me out
Cut me out
[Verse 10]
I'm the monster in your motorcade
Watch the system shut down
Carve out a constellation in your name
So sharpen your knives to cut me out
I'm a shadow in the hurricane
Watch the system shut down
I'll be the monster in your motorcade
So sharpen your knives
