Baring Teeth

Once behold the common courtesy
Now splits the tongues of anyone
That speaks up
Serrated blades to bleed the bait
Giving life to the one and only

Self-loathing deceptors
That meddle fate
Shapeshifting protectors
Obscure their grace

False illusive past
Steeped in shame
Bounds all loosened
Don't run away
Ravenous future
In the way
Leeching body
For all to hate
Showing bold
Baring teeth

A fang-clad prison holds us
Drooling at every step
Compassion reduced to naught
Black book, their saving grace

The crosses blurry, nobody turns
In fear of who will follow
God's work charring flesh

Tear all the thought of the ones
Whose blood tastes the guiltiest
The reigning trophy to claim
The specters that you've maimed

False illusive past
Steeped in shame
Bounds all loosened
Don't run away
Ravenous future
In the way
Leeching body
For all to hate
Growing bold

Baring teeth
Preying

Showing bold
Baring teeth
For all to hate
