Ripcord Reckoning

Debt in the marrow — carved in the bone

Dreams cost blood — nothing is owned

Contracts etched in a borrowed vein

Trade what’s left just to numb the pain

Rust in the air — hunger remains

Pull of a cord — ignite the pain

Teeth grind down as the pressure builds

Every debt must be paid in kills

Something inside starts begging to tear

Skin feels tight like it shouldn’t be there

If this is what it takes to live—

Then take it all, I’ve nothing to give

Rev it up — let it rip through me

Steel screams out where my heart should be

No control — just the sound of grind

Leave what’s human far behind

Spinning teeth — tear through the lie

Spray the red just to stay alive

If this world only speaks in pain—

Then I’ll answer back the same

City howls with a starving grin

Every street wants to pull you in

Hands like hooks in a butchered fight

Tearing flesh just to see the light

Used like a weapon — point and release

No way out, no sense of peace

Every strike just feeds the need

Violence blooms like a twisted seed

Rev it up — let it rip through me

Steel screams out where my heart should be

No control — just the sound of grind

Leave what’s human far behind

Spinning teeth — tear through the lie

Spray the red just to stay alive

If this world only speaks in pain—

Then I’ll answer back the same

PULL — THE — CORD

RIP — THROUGH — BONE

SPLIT — WHAT’S — OWNED

FLESH — UNFOLDS

CHAIN — BY — CHAIN

LIMBS — ERUPT

TEETH — ENGAGE

BLOOD — CORRUPTS

Was this ever mine to choose?

Or just a life I had to lose?

Every piece I gave away—

Built the thing I am today

Rev it up — let it rip through me

Steel screams out where my heart should be

No control — just the sound of grind

Leave what’s human far behind

Spinning teeth — carve out a name

Born in debt — reborn in pain

If survival means decay—

Then I’ll tear the world away

Engine stalls — but echoes stay

Dreams still rot beneath the blade

Silence where the hunger fed—

Something lives… where I bled
