this deathcore track is about being afraid to follow your heart which is a good thing because the Bible says in Jeremaiah 17:9 "The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately sick; who can understand it?" This verse serves as a reminder of the complexities and potential misleading nature of human emotions and desires.
Lyrics
(ah-ah) low roar, throat split
a single syllable that tears the skin
(ha) crawl under the ribs
(uh) uh-uh-uh
They told me trust the drum inside me
like a map that never lies
but there’s a rot in the compass, a smell behind the gold
it tastes like promises that break their teeth
I feel the marrow twitch—compulsion, hunger, false fire
a whisper that wants the keys, wants the fall
I reach for truth and get a counterfeit flame
(burn, burn)
I heard it sing like a savior, sang me into the dark
the tongue of my own blood taught me how to lie
Jeremiah said it plain — the wound within deceives
who can stand the thing that smiles and then betrays? (who?)
The heart is deceitful above all things (above all)
desperately sick, it pulls the veil down (pull it down)
who can understand it? who can hold it? (who?)
don’t follow that liar — don’t follow that liar
The heart is deceitful above all things (above all)
desperately sick — (desperately, desperately)
who can understand it? who can trust it? (no)
don’t follow that liar — don’t follow that liar (ah!)
I learned to hate the taste of wanting
it twists like wire, cuts your resolve
I saw lovers march into cliffs with smiles on their faces
believing the drumbeat of ruin, believing the voice that says "more"
it promises rescue while building the cage
it builds altars on bones, calls it sanctuary
I spit its scripture back in its teeth
I spit it out — I spit and pull my hand away
(ha! ha!)
There’s a serpent in the chamber of desire
slick and patient, teaching grammar to my needs
it uses my language, my nostalgia, my mercy
and writes a treaty signed with my own name (signed)
The heart is deceitful above all things (above all)
desperately sick, it pulls the veil down (pull it down)
who can understand it? who can hold it? (who?)
don’t follow that liar — don’t follow that liar
The heart is deceitful above all things (above all)
desperately sick — (desperately, desperately)
who can understand it? who can trust it? (no)
don’t follow that liar — don’t follow that liar (ah!)
Clench the jaw, lock the gate, boil the want inside
teach your hands to refuse the map that pleads and lies
chant the verse until your mouth tastes iron
Jeremiah seventeen nine — repeat it, spit it, bind it (repeat)
(repeat) Jeremiah seventeen nine — the line across the wound
the glam of feeling, break the glam, break the glam
(uh, uh) do not step where that traitor points
The heart is deceitful above all things (above all)
desperately sick, it pulls the veil down (pull it down)
who can understand it? who can hold it? (who?)
don’t follow that liar — don’t follow that liar
The heart is deceitful above all things (above all)
desperately sick — (desperately, desperately)
who can understand it? who can trust it? (no)
don’t follow that liar — don’
