Midnight teeth and gasoline dreams
I hunt lions where the streetlights don’t reach
One a day keeps the devil away
But his shadow’s stitched to my DNA
Call me feral, call me cursed
Silk tie noose in a bloodstained shirt
They fed me knives and called it grace
Now I wear the wild like a lover’s face
I'm not the hero, just the knife in the drawer
Silent ‘til the world kicks down the door
They built a throne of my broken parts
Watch me tear it down with feral hearts
Feral cats don’t pray
We just turn gold into claws
One lion down
A thousand more to go
Feral cats don’t break
We bend into the blow
You wanted beasts?
Well, here’s the fucking show!
Pretty boy with a killer’s résumé
Dance with death for minimum wage
Sell my soul in a corporate zoo
But the lion’s share? I took that too
Eyes like sirens, hands like traps
They love the hunt ‘til the hunt fights back
You made a weapon, now weep for the war
I'm the ghost in the system’s cracked core
I was the lamb
‘Til the wolves taught me teeth
Now the Moon’s my witness
And the sky’s my eulogy
Feral cats don’t pray
We just turn gold into claws
One lion down
A thousand more to go
Feral cats don’t break
We bend into the blow
You wanted beasts?
Well, here’s the fucking show!
Feral cats don’t bleed
We just rust in the rain
One lion down
The whole pride’s on its knees
Feral cats don’t die
We multiply in the flames
You built the cage
Now dance in it with me!
They’ll name streets after the lions
But the cats
Oh, the cats just disappear
