[Verse 1]
You line your plates before their mouths
Lock the fridge inside your chest
Laugh it off
Change the subject
Swallow steam
Serve out the rest
[Chorus]
I’m the wall behind the drywall
The bruise beneath the sleeve
Take the hit and keep on smiling
So their wounds can breathe
I hold my breath behind their windows
Storms all mine to keep
I’m the blade beneath the table
While they dream their gentle sleep
[Verse 2]
You skip your turn at the table
Pull up chairs
Then fade to dust
Patch their cracks with pieces of you
Call it duty
Call it trust
[Chorus]
I’m the wall behind the drywall
The bruise beneath the sleeve
Take the hit and keep on smiling
So their wounds can breathe
I hold my breath behind their windows
Storms all mine to keep
I’m the blade beneath the table
While they dream their gentle sleep
[Bridge]
Who catches me
When I let go
If I step out
Will they know
If I choose air
Over this weight
Do I betray
Or finally wake
[Chorus]
I’m the wall behind the drywall
The bruise beneath the sleeve
Take the hit and keep on smiling
So their wounds can breathe
I hold my breath behind their windows
Storms all mine to keep
I’m the blade beneath the table
While they dream their gentle sleep
