Silver Jaw

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Midnight on my knuckles Mud on my boots I left the pack in pieces For a blade and the truth They called me curse Now they call me when it burns I keep my teeth in line Till the moon starts to turn [Pre-Chorus] Hear that howl in the wire It climbs the dead air high My shadow gets a backbone When the full moon cuts the sky I don't beg for mercy I don't kneel for pride If the hunt comes close tonight I let the beast decide [Chorus] Silver jaw, bite the dark ( Silver jaw ) Silver jaw, break the chain ( break the chain ) I wear the night like armor And I won't come back the same Silver jaw, bite the dark ( Silver jaw ) Silver jaw, make it rain When they hear my name in the hallway They already know the pain [Verse 2] Blood on a motel mirror Scratch marks on the tile Small-town prayers on the ceiling But I stayed savage for a while She said, "Boy, you look haunted" I said, "Girl, you ain't seen me mad" I got a wolf in my throat, babe And he likes it raw and bad [Pre-Chorus] Hear that howl in the wire It climbs the dead air high My shadow gets a backbone When the full moon cuts the sky I don't beg for mercy I don't kneel for pride If the hunt comes close tonight I let the beast decide [Chorus] Silver jaw, bite the dark ( Silver jaw ) Silver jaw, break the chain ( break the chain ) I wear the night like armor And I won't come back the same Silver jaw, bite the dark ( Silver jaw ) Silver jaw, make it rain When they hear my name in the hallway They already know the pain [Bridge] I was made for the ruin Made to guard the flame If you see me in the mirror Say my name Say my name I don't need salvation I just need the run One more pulse through the wires One more hunt, then done [Final Chorus] Silver jaw, bite the dark ( Silver jaw ) Silver jaw, break the chain ( break the chain ) I wear the night like armor And I won't come back the same Silver jaw, bite the dark ( Silver jaw ) Silver jaw, make it rain When the moon pulls hard on my shadow I become the thing they fear
