[Verse 1]

You'll find me screaming at the sun

It singes my eyes

The plan I devise

In this chess game to shatter the crook

And now the queen takes the rook

You think that you can read me like a book

But you mistook the pushback

Skull crack, now I take the pawn

The pattern's sliding off

And now the bishop's gone

Woe this land

It bares my hand

Of the final command


[Chorus]

They see you blinded us

Reminded us of all that's ugly

And if you let it in

The predator will leave you bloody


[Verse 2]

So, take a look into my eyes

And sharpen your gaze

Sharpen the blades

'Cause the stakes have been raised

Kiss the ring

And now the knight takes the king

Now the rank and file is to bring

The sacrificing, upside, downside

Give me all your guns

I'm fucking crazy

Oh, my mind is lost or won?

Hold your breath

These wounds are fresh

Of this mate that I check


[Chorus]

They see you blinded us

Reminded us of all that's ugly

And if you let it in

The predator will leave you bloody


[Bridge]

So, we close

Off the din outside the window

No, we won't

Normalize the tyrannizing

You'll find me screaming at the sun

Until my soul dies


[Pre-Chorus]

You'll find me screaming now


[Chorus]

They see you blinded us

Reminded us of all that's ugly
