Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Jaw clenched Words splinter on my tongue You talk in little landmines I step on every one Cold eyes Framed in fluorescent glare You keep that quiet weapon Hidden in a stare [Pre-Chorus] You twist the blade with a smile Say it's love all the while [Chorus] You put your teeth in the tension And you call it care I feel the crack in my center Every time you’re there You burn your name in my shelter Then you play pretend If this is how you hold me I would rather end [Verse 2] Short fuse You light it Then deny Gas poured on the carpet You swear it’s just my mind Thin rope Threaded through both our throats You tug like it’s a game I choke on every joke [Pre-Chorus] You twist the blade with a smile Say it's love all the while [Chorus] You put your teeth in the tension And you call it care I feel the crack in my center Every time you’re there You burn your name in my shelter Then you play pretend If this is how you hold me I would rather end [Bridge] (hey!) Pull the pin Let it blow I won’t bend I won’t fold Every scar Every lie I give back What is mine [Breakdown] Say my pain is overdone (overdone) Say I’m just another storm But you built this flood inside me Now I’m cutting from the cord (cutting from the cord) [Chorus] You put your teeth in the tension And you call it care I feel the crack in my center Every time you’re there You burned your name in my shelter Now this is the end If this is how you hold me I won’t break again

Aggressive metalcore/post-hardcore with male vocals; drop-tuned, dissonant guitars locked into syncopated chugs and frantic tremolo. Verses are tight, palm-muted and rhythm-forward, drums stuttering with sudden kicks. Choruses explode into wide-open chords, soaring clean hooks, and high melodic leads. Occasional half-time breakdown with stacked screams, gang shouts, and ambient feedback tails between sections to keep the energy coiled then crashing., soaring, metalcore, post-hardcore, male vocals
