[Verse 1]
I wake up
Already losing
Claw marks
On the inside of my skull
Cold hands
Around my daylight
Every thought a hammer
Breaking bone and will
[Chorus]
I put my teeth in the dark
I bite back
I bite harder
Every scar
Every mark
Is a banner on my armor
I’m not your victim tonight
I’m the fire in the water
I put my teeth in the dark
And I drag myself farther
[Verse 2]
You speak
In a thousand voices
All mine
But they never sound like me
Thin glass
Where my faith was
Every breath a bargain
Just to barely breathe
[Chorus]
I put my teeth in the dark
I bite back
I bite harder
Every scar
Every mark
Is a banner on my armor
I’m not your victim tonight
I’m the fire in the water
I put my teeth in the dark
And I drag myself farther
[Bridge]
You say I’m nothing
(then why am I still here?)
You say stop fighting
I feed on every fear
If I am broken
I’ll cut you with the shards
Bleeding
Screaming
Still guarding my heart
[Chorus]
I put my teeth in the dark
I bite back
I bite harder
Every scar
Every mark
Is a banner on my armor
I’m not your victim tonight
I’m the fire in the water
I put my teeth in the dark
And I drag myself farther
