Iron In My Head

[Verse 1]
Teeth in the mirror
They’re grinning like they know my name
Nails on the wallpaper
Scratching out the same old shame
Every thought a sharpened wire
Wrapped around my breathing chest
They say I’m nothing but the quiet
I’m the crack
Not the crest
[Pre-Chorus]
But I feel
A spark under the skin
If they’re gonna drag me under
I’ll drag them in
[Chorus]
I’m fighting all the voices in my head
Till they choke on every word they ever said
You want my fear?
You’ll have to take my breath instead
I’m not your ghost
I’m iron in my head
Iron in my head (hey!)
Iron in my—
[Verse 2]
They circle like vultures
Picking at the softest part
Every doubt a sutured scripture
Stapled to my beating heart
They say “sink
Little sinner
You were never meant to stand”
But I’ve bled from every finger
Just to learn my own command
[Pre-Chorus]
I still shake
But I’m not breaking thin
If they’re gonna pull me under
I’ll pull them in
[Chorus]
I’m fighting all the voices in my head
Till they choke on every word they ever said
You want my fear?
You’ll have to take my breath instead
I’m not your ghost
I’m iron in my head
Iron in my head (oh yeah)
Iron in my—
[Bridge]
[Music drops to clean
Distant guitars]
Whose mouth is this
Spitting in my sleep?
Whose hands are these
Trying to make me weak?
I bite back hard
Taste rust
Taste red
I’m louder than
The choir in my head
[Chorus]
I’m fighting all the voices in my head
Let them drown beneath the things I’ve never said
You want my life?
You’ll have to break this will of lead
I’m not your ghost
I’m iron in my head
Iron in my head (hey!)
Iron in my head

metal, Female vocals over modern metalcore: drop-tuned guitars, sharp palm-muted riffs, and double-kick bursts. Verses tight and tense with choked cymbals and dissonant chords; chorus opens into soaring melodic top line over wide, sustained power chords. Occasional screamed doubles on key words, tom-heavy pre-chorus builds, and a mid-song dynamic dip with reverb-washed clean guitar before the final, crushing hook.
