Razor Walls of Xibalba

[Verse 1 — metallic percussion]
The razor walls of Xibalba
Keep shifting every time I pass
I learn to dance between the edges
You only see the blood on glass

[Pre-Chorus — whispered harmonies]
Another door, another test
Another wound beneath my vest

[Chorus — violent rhythmic shifts]
Cut me down! (Cut me down!)
I'm still the one who stays around
I cross a hundred blades for you
You count the one that made it through
I'd turn this house to empty ground
And never hear that cutting sound
But others wander through these halls
I cannot leave them to the walls

[Verse 2 — stuttering bass]
You ask for safety without fear
I build a path, you disappear

[Bridge — exposed vocal]
I know the way to daylight now
I know the doors, I know the ground
But every time I reach the sun
I hear you call, and back I run

[Outro — distorted whispers]
(One more trial, one more scar)
How far from me can I get?
