Baring Teeth

Once bound to common courtesy

Now splits the tongues of anyone

That speaks up

Serrated blades to bleed the bait

Giving life to the one and only

Self-loathing deceptors

That meddle fate

Shapeshifting protectors

Obscure their grace

False illusive past

Steeped in shame

Bounds all loosened

Don't run away

Ravenous future

In the way

Leeching body

For all to hate

Showing bold

Baring teeth

A fang-clad prison holds us

Drooling at every step

Compassion reduced to naught

Black book, their saving grace

The crossеs burn, nobody turns

In fear of who will follow

God’s work charring flesh

Tear at thе throats of the ones

Whose blood tastes guiltiest

The reigning trophy to claim

The specters that you've maimed

False illusive past

Steeped in shame

Bounds all loosened

Don't run away

Ravenous future

In the way

Leeching body

For all to hate

Growing bold

Baring teeth

Preying

Showing bold

Baring teeth

For all to hate
