Swallow Glass

Eyes all on me when the chalkboard squeaks,
Circle my name, underline my weak.
“This is why you read the question twice,”
My mistake becomes her teaching device.
Whispers rise, the classroom grins,
I’m the model for everyone’s sins.

Every stumble’s a stage she builds,
Every flaw is a wound she thrills.
I’m the note in the margin they all write down,
But it’s me wearing the paper crown.

“This is why you don’t mess up” (up)
“This is why you bleed, stand up” (up)
“This is why you watch your tone” (tone)
“This is why you end up alone” (alone)

Lesson learned, I’m the warning sign (oh)
Turn me into your teaching line (yeah)
Erase the board but the bruise still stays (stays)
Living proof of her cruel displays (echo).

Homework wrong, and she points again,
“My example child, don’t be like them.”
Desk feels heavy, eyes all burn,
Another round, another turn.
Every page I write bleeds red,
Every answer’s the words she said.

I’m the puppet pulled by chalk-stained strings,
Show-and-tell of my broken things.
She gets applause, I get the shame,
But the echo still calls my name.

“This is why you don’t mess up” (up)
“This is why you bleed, stand up” (up)
“This is why you watch your tone” (tone)
“This is why you end up alone” (alone)

Lesson learned, I’m the warning sign (oh)
Turn me into your teaching line (yeah)
Erase the board but the bruise still stays (stays)
Living proof of her cruel displays (echo).

Circle my answer, underline the shame,
Turn my silence into your acclaim.
Every bell rings, but it won’t erase,
The lesson carved in my face.

Point the finger, write it bold,
I’m the story that gets retold.
Every slip-up, every flaw,
Becomes the law of the classroom awe.

“This is why you don’t mess up” (up)
“This is why you bleed, stand up” (up)
“This is why you watch your tone” (tone)
“This is why you end up alone” (alone)

Lesson learned, I’m the warning sign (oh)
Turn me into your teaching line (yeah)
Erase the board but the bruise still stays (stays)
Living proof of her cruel displays (echo).

Chalk dust falls like a veil of lies,
I’m the example that never dies.
Erase the words, but I still remain,
A living lesson of endless shame.

Examples

[Intro]
If it sees you
If it hears you
If you try to run away
If it smells you
If you taste good
It will eat you anyway

[Verse]
Brain gang, bloodsuckin' with the fang fangs
Splish splash with the drip, let the chain hang
No shame, bad bunny, ain't a play thang
Put my flag in her dirt like a claim stake
Boom, boom, goin' up, like the price of gas
Makin' magic on a stick, I don't need a staff
Body bags in the house, they don't need a mask
Do the math, that's another trick-or-treat collapse
In the middle of the woods where I left him at
So I put him in a box, like a treasure map
Under the bed, ain't no monsters, ain't no skeletons
Took my soul and it won't give it back

[Chorus]
If it sees you
If it hears you
If you try to run away
If it smells you
If you taste good
It will eat you anyway
If it sees you
If it hears you
If you try to run away
If it smells you
If you taste good
It will eat you anyway

[Verse 2]
Walkin' 'round with my people in a hearse
If you talkin' to my demons, you're a curse
Another weekend, and I'm freezin', and it hurts
But you know I love the way I feel when I'm in the dirt
Yeah, take me to the other side
In a full moon, baby, let the wolves cry
I'll never understand, never wonder why
It'll always come to you, just never when you wanna die
Hush little baby, don't say a word
You don't have to be scared
Everything is goin' down, everybody's sayin' it
But don't you dare be afraid, baby, just embrace it

[Chorus]
If it sees you
If it hears you
If you try to run away
If it smells you
If you taste good
It will eat you anyway
If it sees you
If it hears you
If you try to run away
If it smells you
If you taste good
It will eat you anyway

It Will Eat You

PSALMS – VOL. IV: BROKEN ALTARS – The Shaken Remnant

Synopsis:
Volume IV walks through Psalms 46–60 as songs for a shaken world and a God who doesn’t move. It opens with the earthquake refuge of “River in the Ruins” and the triumphant coronation energy of “King Above All Crowns,” then moves into city-on-a-hill imagery, warnings about wealth and judgment, and the raw repentance of “Clean Heart Prayer.” From there the album presses into corrupt power, betrayal by friends, burdens laid onto God, tears kept in His bottle, caves and wings, broken fangs for violent rulers, and “Dogs at the Gate” circling a sleeping city. It closes with “Banner in the Dust,” a battle-weary anthem that raises hope in the middle of national loss. Each track paraphrases a psalm into a modern, singable form, stretching across blues-rock, punk, indie-folk, soul, cinematic rock and worship-adjacent moods, all under The Shaken Remnant’s gritty, spiritual lens.
