[Verse 1]
I keep a lock on my mouth
Still the blade in me speaks
Black coffee on my breath
And a bruise in my sleeve
You see the clean side shine
But I know what lives below
A grin like a cracked old plate
And a hand that won’t let go
[Pre-Chorus]
Say my name, I flinch
Like I know what comes out
I’ve been good on the surface
Bad at the root, no doubt
If you want the truth
I can drag it to light
I’m split down the middle
And I don’t sleep right
[Chorus]
Confess my dark side
(Confess my dark side)
I wear it so tight
(So tight, so tight)
Confess my dark side
(Confess my dark side)
I still taste the night
(Taste the night)
[Verse 2]
I smile with my teeth
But they don’t mean peace
There’s a wolf in my ribs
And a ring in my fist
I’ve burned every bridge
Then stood in the smoke
Told myself I’m fine
While I choked on the joke
You ask why I run
Why I never stay
’Cause I know what I am
When the room goes gray
[Pre-Chorus]
Say my name, I flinch
Like I know what comes out
I’ve been good on the surface
Bad at the root, no doubt
If you want the truth
I can drag it to light
I’m split down the middle
And I don’t sleep right
[Chorus]
Confess my dark side
(Confess my dark side)
I wear it so tight
(So tight, so tight)
Confess my dark side
(Confess my dark side)
I still taste the night
(Taste the night)
[Bridge]
Let it crack, let it show
Let the whole damn thing breathe
I was made from the ache
That you couldn’t believe
If I hold you too close
It’s because I might break
I’m not proud of the fire
But I know how it shakes
[Final Chorus]
Confess my dark side
(Confess my dark side)
I wear it so tight
(So tight, so tight)
Confess my dark side
(Confess my dark side)
I still taste the night
(Taste the night)
