[Intro]
Kick the door, let the dead air crack
No safe word, no turning back
[Verse 1]
Rust on my teeth, bad taste in the prayer
I drag old names through the basement stair
Your clean little world got a fracture line
I press both thumbs till the fault goes wide
Every cheap promise came stapled shut
Now I bring a crowbar and a mouth full of dust
You want control? Then watch it collapse
I make a throne from the splinters and ash
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold your breath
Count the cracks
When it breaks
Don’t look back
[Chorus]
TURN IT DOWN? I’M TURNING IT RED
THUNDER IN THE FLOOR, BRICKS IN MY HEAD
NO PEACE, NO CURE, NO HAND ON THE BRAKE
I CAME FOR THE WALLS, I CAME FOR THE SHAKE
[Verse 2]
Black ink leaking from a burned-out plan
I was raised by the sound of a slammed steel can
Teeth to the chain, heel to the tile
I’ve been saving this rage for a very long while
Your glass-house gospel is paper-thin
One hard breath and the weather gets in
No polished halo, no borrowed face
Just a live wire heart in a condemned place
[Bridge]
SAY MY NAME—
MAKE IT UGLY
SAY MY NAME—
MAKE IT LOUD
[Breakdown]
Bite down
Lock in
Let the whole room cave in
Bite down
Lock in
I don’t need your permission
[Chorus]
TURN IT DOWN? I’M TURNING IT RED
THUNDER IN THE FLOOR, BRICKS IN MY HEAD
NO PEACE, NO CURE, NO HAND ON THE BRAKE
I CAME FOR THE WALLS, I CAME FOR THE SHAKE
[Outro]
When the dust settles, I’ll still be here
With a throat full of gravel and a head full of fear
No clean ending, no curtain, no sleep
Just one more cut that runs too deep
