Teeth In The Dark

Yeah

Hold your breath

You don’t knock, you just appear

Like a bad idea I keep near

Say you’ve changed, say you’re clean

But I know where your hands have been

You talk sweet, you talk slow

Like you’re selling what I already know

Every promise dressed in light

Still sharp when it hits at night

I feel it under my skin

That pull I swore I beat

Every time I let you in

You show me your teeth

You’ve got teeth in the dark

And you bite when I’m weak

Say you love how I fall

Say you love how I bleed

I keep dancing with danger

Like I don’t see the spark

You don’t need a weapon

You’ve got teeth in the dark

You say “trust me,” I laugh

Heard that lie in the past

You don’t chase, you wait

Let me seal my own fate

Every look’s a dare

Every touch says “stay”

I don’t need saving

But I don’t walk away

I feel it locking me in

That familiar heat

Every time I let you close

You sharpen your teeth

You’ve got teeth in the dark

And you bite when I’m weak

Say you love how I fall

Say you love how I bleed

I keep dancing with danger

Like I don’t see the spark

You don’t need a weapon

You’ve got teeth in the dark

Maybe I like the edge

Maybe I like the bruise

Maybe the worst of you

Feels honest when I lose

If loving you’s a fight

I won’t beg or bark

I’ll meet you in the shadow

With my own teeth sharp

(beat drops — distorted bass, low guitars grinding)

You’ve got teeth in the dark

But so do I now

I’ve learned how to smile

Without backing down

If you think I’m your prey

You misread the mark

I’m not scared of the night

I’ve got teeth in the dark

Yeah

Hold your breath
