Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Bite my tongue
Till the taste turns brown
Push it down
Push it down again
All my friends
Are just ghosts online
Typing “you’ll be fine”
While I come undone
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been screaming at the ceiling
(hey!)
Just to hear I’m still a sound
Every scar that I’ve been stealing
(hey!)
Feels like armor falling down
[Chorus]
But I’m still here with paper skin
Iron heart
Tearing at the seams in the quiet dark
Every crack you left keeps letting sparks in
I’m not okay yet
But I’m not giving in
Paper skin
Iron heart
I’m not okay yet
But I’m not falling apart
[Verse 2]
Same four walls
With the paint worn thin
Can’t scrub out
What I held within
Wrote your name
In the dust last year
Now it’s gone
But it still feels near
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been running out of reasons
(hey!)
To keep stitching up this chest
But there’s something in the bleeding
(hey!)
That still beats against my best
[Chorus]
Yeah I’m still here with paper skin
Iron heart
Shaking in the glow of a dying spark
Every crack you left keeps letting light in
I’m not okay yet
But I’m not giving in
Paper skin
Iron heart
I’m not okay yet
But I’m not falling apart
[Bridge]
If this is all I am
Bruises and bad decisions
Hold me to what I said
Back when I had a vision
If I break
Then let me break
Just enough to let you see
There’s a little bit of flame
Still buried under me (yeah)
[Chorus]
I’m still here with paper skin
Iron heart
Laughing through the hurt like a work of art
Every crack you left keeps letting light in
I’m not okay yet
But I’m not giving in
Paper skin
Iron heart
I’m not okay yet
But I’m not falling apart
(hey!) paper skin
(hey!) iron heart
I’m not okay yet
But I’m not falling apart

rock, Hard emo rock with male vocals; dropped-tuned guitars locked to a halftime stomp, bass welded to a punchy kick. Verses stay tight and tense with palm-muted chugs and close-mic vocal, pre-chorus lifts on octave leads and gang shouts, then the chorus opens brighter with open chords, overhead cymbals, and layered harmonies—light piercing through the wall of sound. Final chorus adds extra gang vocals and feedback tail., light, male vocals, emo
