Body Hammer Lyrics
I clench my teeth and realize
My world is so near its demise
A dying sun in a poisonous sky
Stinging my eyes
Burning with contempt and conflict
As of now
I am a tool
Of severe impact
I clench my fist and visualize
The blood that is spilled is our own
I open wide my bloodshot eyes
Count the dead
A result of dysfunction
As of now
I am a tool
Of severe impact
Hammer down
Cause and effect
And create a new world
Pound, drive, swing, strike
Break down, smash down
Pound and drive, swing and strike
Break it down
I am a tool
My world is so near its demise
A dying sun in a poisonous sky
Stinging my eyes
Burning with contempt and conflict
As of now
I am a tool
Of severe impact
I clench my fist and visualize
The blood that is spilled is our own
I open wide my bloodshot eyes
Count the dead
A result of dysfunction
As of now
I am a tool
Of severe impact
Hammer down
Cause and effect
And create a new world
Pound, drive, swing, strike
Break down, smash down
Pound and drive, swing and strike
Break it down
I am a tool
As of now
I am a tool
Of severe impact
Hammer down
Cause and effect
And create a new world
I am a tool...
I am a tool to break down
Break it down and smash it all away
I am a tool
Of severe impact
Hammer down
Cause and effect
And create a new world
I am a tool...
I am a tool to break down
Break it down and smash it all away
About
Genius Annotation
From ‘Demanufacture’.
This is about anger and lashing out. It also mentions this is the ‘result of dysfunction’ and ‘the blood that is spilled is our own’, suggesting this is a bad way of handling things.
It’s a moderately-paced song. It has a backing hammer sound at various parts.
