[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Awaken feeling weary and ailing
The world is cold with scorn
This bruised skin hangs loose from my bones
Crushed under my own weight
[Verse 2]
Unhook these claws, out from my back
Let my wounds weep
[Chorus]
Cold with scorn
[Bridge 1]
No matter how much I choke
It sticks in my lungs
I'll always hold that bitter taste
On my tongue
[Bridge 2]
When the fabric of your being begins to fray, when your moral compa**
Leaves you stranded, when all but blood is rushing through your veins
There's only one option you're left with... Take the strain
[Chorus]
Cold with scorn
