There’s something eating me from inside out
Guess it doesn’t matter what I say
I cough up blood and words that I regret
So long your attention has gone away These high school words have lost their power
Their meaning bleeds right through this page
I state my case and you impale yourself
On points to you I wish I’d made
Let’s just pretend this never happened and then we’ll be on our way
Even with these scars I can’t remember Why we started anyway
Your blood it stains me like a trophy When I wear it I’m ashamed
Of what I was or what I am or every thing I could have been You want some proof?
Crack open my skull
Safe place where evil thoughts reside These underhanded gestures I make Do they help you sleep at night?
Guess it doesn’t matter what I say
I cough up blood and words that I regret
So long your attention has gone away These high school words have lost their power
Their meaning bleeds right through this page
I state my case and you impale yourself
On points to you I wish I’d made
Let’s just pretend this never happened and then we’ll be on our way
Even with these scars I can’t remember Why we started anyway
Your blood it stains me like a trophy When I wear it I’m ashamed
Of what I was or what I am or every thing I could have been You want some proof?
Crack open my skull
Safe place where evil thoughts reside These underhanded gestures I make Do they help you sleep at night?

Burn it down (x18)
I think this song is about an abusive relationship and potentially the singer's revenge. My evidence for this comes from A: the song title referencing the dragon's teeth, which were a tool that Medea gave to Jason and B: the final lines saying "burn it down" in the way that Medea burned her rival alive.
