Broken Glass Just Tastes Like Blood
Partial Lyrics:
โAnd when this riverโs dead and dry,
Then like Caesar Iโll cast the die
Iโve made up my mind, Iโm cutting ties, ฤlea iacta est;
Iโm crossing the Rubicon and laying my PAST TO REST(ALL MY DEMONS FIGHT FOR ME NOW)
(and Iโm not looking back again)
(IโM BREAKING THE LAW ON IMPERIUM)
(My love was never earned by them)
(SI VIS PACEM, PARA BELLUM)
(All my demons fight for me now)Iโm done building fucking bridges, Iโve set every one I had ablaze
I wonโt need to walk on water to cross a riverbed of ash and clay
So I welcome drought; Iโm done with rain
Let famine come; Iโll thrive in pain
Iโll harness the SUN and burn away
The MIST, the WATER, YESTERDAY.โ

โI can feel Godโs light
(LIKE FLAME AGAINST MY SKIN)
If this is holy love, Iโll stay in the shade of sinYou can fill your mouths with names and numbers,
armor yourself with verse and psalms,
Iโll spit Leviticus back into your face
Your faith has driven nails into my palmsYou can sew my hands together
stitch my lips and trap my tongue
but you can't make me fucking pray;
I declare non serviam.โ

โOur lullabies were screaming matches or broken bottles
We spent childhood swallowing the shards of our shattered hearts
Audi, vide, tace, they sayโWell, weโre breaking silence now and wonโt play that part
We heard, we saw, we locked our lips, we let copper fill our lungs and mouths
And quoting Exodus 20:12 at us canโt make a home out of a burning houseAs children we all beg our fathers for a single taste of love
But Iโll go ahead and tell you now, kid:
All that broken glass just tastes like blood.โ
