Staring down deep in silence (???)
Stepdad was a drunk and every week there was a battle
Rubbing elbows with the morning cattle(?) sacrifices
(???) evening with the demons and all their surprises
I couldn't ask them to leave
I just invited them in
I can't believe what I just did
Shoved my face inside my pillow
Said Hail Mary's 'til I turned purple
It won't break me down
Won't leave me paralyzed
I will spit fire
On the pyres of the guilty
That relate but see right through me
I will spit fire
I guess you didn't get the note on the nightstand
Forgot to read it
About setting the house on fire
Somehow a witness to my (???) pissed on the evidence
Now everybody wants to know where the dog's hiding
One day I'll cash your d**h check
Buy the greatest and the respectable
That thought had crossed my mind
Oh yes, that thought had crossed my mind
I'll take my chances
Walking on the wire
Not smart enough
To keep my feet out of the fire
Where the fear and the pain are buried alive
This beast inside metastasizes
Crawling deeper, cut wide open
Viciously and without warning
It won't break me down
It won't leave me paralyzed
I will spit fire
On the pyres of the guilty
That relate but see right through me
I will spit fire
When I've given up all I've got
When my guts are tired in knots
It won't break me down
It won't leave me paralyzed
I will spit fire
[x2]
One day I will cash your d**h check
Make believers of the impossible
And I might drop my excesses
The meanest and the unlikeable
But you won't break me down
You won't put out the fires
That I spit out
