Lyrics
Verse 1
Mother cracks the porcelain
Hard against the wood
Claims I'm tossing my wit
For a hollow pulse
Chalkboard preaches a straight route
To a paved estate
While I trace the grime
On the window panes
Chorus
Got my target locked
When the static dies
Got my target locked
When the static dies
Shove your blueprints and your molds
Shove your blueprints and your molds
[shout] Bypassing the jury to take you!
Scraping my borders in the dirt
Scraping my borders in the dirt
Instrumental Break
Driving bass, tempo increases
Verse 2
Muttering by the lockers
Glaring in the aisle
Snapping the brass shut
Locking out the hum
Banking on a wallflower
In a cotton hem
Got a jaw that bites back
Settling for none
Chorus
Got my target locked
When the static dies
Got my target locked
When the static dies
Shove your blueprints and your molds
Shove your blueprints and your molds
[shout] Bypassing the jury to take you!
Scraping my borders in the dirt
Scraping my borders in the dirt
Bridge
Keep your sermons
[whisper] Keep your synthetic teeth
Pacing my own concrete
Pacing my own concrete
Outro
Yeah, the verdict is in
Porch swinging wide
[spoken] I'm gone
Music fades out
