[Intro]
Voices in the rafters
Cold breath on my neck
Names carved in the plaster
They told me what comes next
Soft hum
Low drum
Heart slow as it twists
Every shadow in the room
Got my face on its wrists (shhh)
[Pre-Chorus]
I walk that line
Chalk-outline spine
Halo cracked
Like a fault in time
If I call my ghosts
They call me back
Mouth full of dirt
Hands on the black
[Chorus]
I saw God in the pit and we stared till it smiled
Got a grin like the abyss and it called me “child”
If I die tonight
I was already gone
I’ve been dancing with my demons
To a dead man’s song
Write my name in the smoke while the world goes still
Where the teeth in my head wanna bite that thrill
If I die tonight
Say I wanted it all
I’ve been kissing on the chaos
Just to feel the fall (yeah)
[Verse 1]
Razor tongue
Blood taste
Whole life
Speed-raced
Every prayer that I spit
Turned to tar in my teeth
All my sins
Stay strapped
Like a choir
Kidnapped
Singing hymns in a pitch
That can crack concrete
Got a serpent in my chest
That don’t sleep, it just coils
Every heartbeat
Brings it closer to the soil
I’m a temple
Built from every curse I ever said
Put my ear to the ground
Hear it whisper, “You’re dead”
[Pre-Chorus]
I walk that line
Chalk-outline spine
Halo cracked
Like a fault in time
If I call my ghosts
They call me back
Mouth full of dirt
Hands on the black
[Chorus]
I saw God in the pit and we stared till it smiled
Got a grin like the abyss and it called me “child”
If I die tonight
I was already gone
I’ve been dancing with my demons
To a dead man’s song
Write my name in the smoke while the world goes still
Where the teeth in my head wanna bite that thrill
If I die tonight
Say I wanted it all
I’ve been kissing on the chaos
Just to feel the fall (hey)
[Bridge]
[Arp creeps in, tension rising]
Pulse climbs
Jaw lock
Eyes wide
Tick-tock
Every memory a match
In a room full of gas
Skin hums
Veins drum
One breath
Then—
[Silence]
[Chorus]
I saw God in the pit and we stared till it smiled
Got a grin like the abyss and it called me “child”
If I die tonight
I was already gone
I’ve been dancing with my demons
To a dead man’s song
Write my name in the smoke while the world goes still
Where the teeth in my head wanna bite that thrill
If I die tonight
Say I wanted it all
I’ve been kissing on the chaos
Just to feel the fall (fall, fall)
