[Verse 1]
Gold on your hands
Ink on our necks (sign it)
Smiles for the lens
Knives for the rest (bleed us)
You shake our fists
Then steal our breath (choke it)
Truth in a cage
Fed to the pit (tear it)
[Chorus]
Teeth in the throne (bite down)
Blood in the ballots you own (yeah)
You dress the lie in a flag and a crown (traitor)
But we see the wires and bones
Teeth in the throne (rip it)
Feeding on futures you’ve blown (all gone)
We are the cracks in the marble you hold
We are the hands on your throat (right now)
[Verse 2]
You sell us fear
Call it a shield (cowards)
You salt the earth
Call it a field (liars)
Every excuse
Stamped with a seal (fake it)
Every back room
Signed with a deal (take it)
[Bridge]
Line up the ghosts
You swore to defend (say their names)
Stacked in your pockets
End over end (count it)
Your paper crown
Soaked through and red (dripping)
We’ll make a law
You can’t out-pretend (never)
[Chorus]
Teeth in the throne (bite down)
Blood in the ballots you own (so cold)
You dress the lie in a flag and a crown (shame)
But we see the wires and bones
Teeth in the throne (tear it)
Feeding on futures you’ve blown (all gone)
We are the cracks in the marble you hold
We are the hands on your throat (hands on your throat)
