Frost in the Ribs

[Intro]
Black frost
In my chest
Black frost
Let it sink

[Verse 1]
I taste iron in the rain
On the wire, on my tongue
Boots drag through the frozen mud
Every step feels dead and numb
No warm hands at the gate
No light in the window pane
Only teeth in the dark
And a name I cannot say

[Pre-Chorus]
Pressure in my skull
Walls lean close tonight
Cold hands on my throat
Still I crawl for a fight

[Chorus]
Frost in the ribs (frost in the ribs)
I carry the storm
Frost in the ribs (frost in the ribs)
Till the whole place is torn
Hold me down
I come back wrong
Frost in the ribs (frost in the ribs)
And it’s been there all along

[Verse 2]
Ash on the altar cloth
Rusted chain in my palm
I hear wolves in the ducts
Like a warning in the calm
Every face turns pale
When I walk through the door
They can smell the cold
That I’ve been feeding for

[Pre-Chorus]
Pressure in my skull
Walls lean close tonight
Cold hands on my throat
Still I crawl for a fight

[Chorus]
Frost in the ribs (frost in the ribs)
I carry the storm
Frost in the ribs (frost in the ribs)
Till the whole place is torn
Hold me down
I come back wrong
Frost in the ribs (frost in the ribs)
And it’s been there all along

[Bridge]
Sink lower
Let it blacken
No mercy
No soft landing
I was built in the gorge
Where the dead air sings
Now I break like glass
Under raven wings

[Breakdown]
Down
Down
Under the weight
Crush
Crush
Seal my fate
Frost in the ribs
Frost in the ribs
This is the part where the cold still lives

[Final Chorus]
Frost in the ribs (frost in the ribs)
I carry the storm
Frost in the ribs (frost in the ribs)
Till the whole place is torn
Hold me down
I come back wrong
Frost in the ribs (frost in the ribs)
And it’s been there all along
