[Intro]
Low sky
Jaw tight
Heartbeat
Red sight
[Verse 1]
Cold grin in a blacked-out car
Night peeled back when I crack that jar
Breath in smoke, let the fear run thin
You can taste that threat when the bass drops in
Steel nerves, I don’t twitch, don’t flinch
Every step on your block, inch by inch
See the glass in the gutter, yeah, cut that path
When it hits, it’s a wall, it’s a wave, it’s wrath
[Pre-Chorus]
You feel that thump in your ribs, that shadow
Teeth on your spine when the lows get shallow
Hands on your head when the ground starts to warp
Hear that hiss in the dark, that’s the storm
[Chorus]
Darts in the dark
They strike, then they spark
Every hit leave a mark
Can you handle that arc?
Darts in the dark
From the chest to the heart
You can run, you can bark
Still get torn apart
[Verse 2]
Face lit up when the screen goes white
Whole room shake when I twist that knife
Glare in my eye like a wound-up coil
Every move that I make make the floorboards boil
No talk, just a look, that’s enough, you know
When the air gets thick and your pulse gets slow
Hear a crack, then a snap, then the steel rain sing
I just nod to the bang and I pull that string
[Pre-Chorus]
You feel that thump in your ribs, that shadow
Teeth on your spine when the lows get shallow
Hands on your head when the ground starts to warp
Hear that hiss in the dark, that’s the storm
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[whispered vocals] Count it in, one breath, two
[low vocal register] Every step, closer to you
[shouted] When it breaks, when it carves this room
Let it chew, let it chew, let it chew—
[Chorus]
