Machete (Acoustic)

Fear is a machete

And it cuts me deep

Spilling rivers of blood

Where light used to be

Carving each letter

Of its name into my skin

Now I kneel on the floor

Of a temple for the wounded

Warm blade

Soft flesh

Knives out

Praying for forgiveness

Warm blade

Soft flesh

Knives out

There’s a devil in the fortress

You gotta steel yourself

Oh you gotta steel yourself

Seven years swimming

In the belly of the beast

Kept a smile on my face

While I grit my teeth

With my eye on the sky

I was waiting for the sun

Now I rise from the night

Cause my day has come

Warm blade

Soft flesh

Knives out

It’s all just a big test

Warm blade

Soft flesh

Knives out

So I can be the greatest

Oh you gotta steel yourself

You gotta steel yourself

Oh you gotta steel yourself

You gotta steel yourself
