[Verse 1]

What was said was like thunder in my head

I felt the earth quaking

The absence of atonement, all smiles...

Feed on me while you bring the unmaking


[Pre-Chorus]

From the abyss, without remiss

I pledge my person

I pledge my demon

No cure for money and allure

I pledge my person

I pledge my demon


[Chorus]

Talons out and teeth sharpened

Don't let the fuckin' world beat you down

Talons out and teeth sharpened

Don't let the fucking world beat you down!


[Verse 2]

Antisocial, you're uncontrollable

Get away with murder

The absence of atonement, all smiles

It's all war from here


[Pre-Chorus 1]

From the abyss, without remiss

I pledge my person

I pledge my demon

No cure for money and allure

I pledge my person

I pledge my demon


[Pre-Chorus 2]

Your glue, it's not gonna stick

(It's not gonna stick)

Tape won't mend a broken heart

And some things you just can't fix


[Chorus]

Talons out and teeth sharpened

Don't let the fuckin' world beat you down

Talons out and teeth sharpened

Don't let the fucking world beat you down!

Lift yourself up from the ground

Come at them with teeth sharpened

Talons out and teeth sharpened

Don't let the fucking world beat you down!


[Bridge]

It's a preemptive strike

So bring the fighting

You're the first in line

Something tells me

The fix is all around me

So bring the fighting, so bring the fighting

Bring it


[Guitar Solo]


[Pre-Chorus]

Tape won't mend a broken heart

And some things you just can't fix


[Chorus]

Talons out and teeth sharpened

Don't let the fuckin' world beat you down

Talons out and teeth sharpened

Don't let the fucking world beat you down!

Lift yourself up from the ground

Come at them with teeth sharpened

Talons out and teeth sharpened

Don't let the fucking world beat you down!


[Outro]

Beat you down!

Beat you down!

Don't let the fucking world

Beat you down!

Beat you down!
