[Verse 1]
I chew my words like broken glass
Smile so wide it almost cracks
Front door locked
Lights all low
I’m the hinge you never know
[Chorus]
I’m rust on the gate
Still holding
All the lightning in my teeth
If I burn
You stay golden
Let it tear right under my sleeve
I’m the quiet crash in the shadows
Taking every hit you don’t see
If it caves
Let it cave on me
[Verse 2]
Bite my tongue until it stings
Hide the quake in smaller things
You just see the steady frame
Not the fault line in my name
[Chorus]
I’m rust on the gate
Still holding
All the lightning in my teeth
If I burn
You stay golden
Let it tear right under my sleeve
I’m the quiet crash in the shadows
Taking every hit you don’t see
If it caves
Let it cave on me
[Bridge]
Hands in my pockets
Fists in my chest
Every “I’m fine” is a bulletproof vest
If there’s a storm
Let it pick my bones clean
Long as it leaves you asleep in your dream
[Chorus]
I’m rust on the gate
Still holding
All the lightning in my teeth
If I burn
You stay golden
Let it tear right under my sleeve
I’m the quiet crash in the shadows
Taking every hit you don’t see
If it caves
Let it cave on me
