Reaper on the Pavement

Verse 1

Creps on the concrete, bass drum thick

Sweat on the collar and the sub-bass kick

Railway arches where the brick turns black

Step in the circle, ain't no looking back

Pre-Chorus

Pulse ticking up in the throat, in the teeth

Nothing left running underneath

Sound take the marrow, let the bone strip thin

Open up the floor, let the reaper in

Chorus

Reaper on the pavement, step, don't stop

Heavy in the ribs when the sub-bass drop

Reaper on the pavement, grind down clean

Drown every ghost in the smoke machine

Verse 2

Strobe flash slicing up a dead-end hall

Red light bleeding on a damp brick wall

Spill on the stone, got my eyes rolled white

Trading off the mind for the kill of the night

Pre-Chorus

Pulse ticking up in the throat, in the teeth

Nothing left running underneath

Sound take the marrow, let the bone strip thin

Open up the floor, let the reaper in

Chorus

Reaper on the pavement, step, don't stop

Heavy in the ribs when the sub-bass drop

Reaper on the pavement, grind down clean

Drown every ghost in the smoke machine

Bridge

No face, no name, just the kick and clap

Snap every wire in the dead-end trap

Tear off the shadow, let the pavement chew

Give it to the floor till the night cuts through

Chorus

Reaper on the pavement, step, don't stop

Heavy in the ribs when the sub-bass drop

Reaper on the pavement, grind down clean

Drown every ghost in the smoke machine
