Lyrics
Scorched hearth, your link to the past

Was it a Pollock-painted mattress shrine you built to last

Like putty in my hands, in my hands
Implies control or manipulation over a situation.
Cut off the hands of a thief, the heart of his weakness, yeah

Cut out the heart from a man and leave the gaping chest

I'll make a milk carton man out of me, run out of tread, I'm so fucking tired

Do you hear me
