Skin Machine

[Verse 1]
The dirt still clings to the cross we made,
Your name carved deep like a scar that fades.
Every scream echoes down inside,
A war that won’t quit, no place to hide.
Banging my head on the edge of truth,
The world lost color the day I lost you.
Thought I'd drown, thought I'd fade away,
But rage keeps the reaper at bay.

[Pre-Chorus]
The silence is louder than any sound,
Your ghost is the weight that drags me down.

[Chorus]
It was like yesterday, then the heavens took you away!
Fuckin buried in confusion, tearing myself through decay.
Still I breathe, but barely holding on—yeah!
Punching through the pain till the night is gone!
Still I breathe, but barely holding on!

[Verse 2]
Empty chair, cracked photograph,
I keep your boots by the aftermath.
Whiskey bleeding down my throat,
Every drop burns like a final note.
Can’t bargain with a broken sky,
Can’t kill the tears no matter how I try.
I pound the earth where your name now sleeps,
In the dirt, my fury creeps.

[Pre-Chorus]
Blood in my mouth, fists to the air,
If you can hear me, brother, I’m still there!

[Chorus]
It was like yesterday, then the heavens took you away!
Fuckin buried in confusion, tearing myself through decay.
Still I breathe, but barely holding on—yeah!
Punching through the pain till the night is gone!
Still I breathe, but barely holding on!

[Bridge (Breakdown Growl Section)]
Slam! The hammer falls!
No mercy, no calls!
Your echo screams inside my chest—
God, this hurt never rests!
If there’s a gate, I’ll tear it down,
If there’s a crown, I’ll steal the crown!
You ain’t gone till I’m gone too,
Brother, I still fight for you!

[Final Chorus]
It was like yesterday, then the heavens took you away!
Fuckin buried in confusion, tearing myself through decay.
Still I breathe, but barely holding on—yeah!
Punching through the pain till the night is gone!
Still I breathe,
Still I bleed,
Still I scream your name till they bury me deep!

[Outro]
And when the dirt hits my face someday,
I’ll find you when the dark gives way...
Still I breathe—
But barely holding on.
