[Intro]
(I hold my breath)
Till my chest feel stone
(yeah)
I don’t let up
I don’t let go
[Verse 1]
Hold my breath till my ribs feel glass
Every move sharp, every step could crack
Heart on my sleeve but the sleeve all black
Turned every panic to a planned attack
Eyes wide open, insomnia grin
Demons in the mirror tryna pull me back in
Came from the cold, had to grind for the heat
Clenched up jaw, feel it grind on my teeth
[Chorus]
I hold my breath till the pain turn numb
Blood in my mouth but I still don’t run
Hard in my chest like a loaded drum
I don’t let it out
I don’t let it out
I bite down hard when the world gets loud
Fear in my lungs but I don’t back down
Life on the edge, can’t save me now
I don’t let it out
I don’t let it out (nah)
[Verse 2]
Air so thin but the will so thick
Clock still tick but I move real quick
Every little scar like a barcode strip
Scan that code, see fight, see grit
Hate in they eyes, I inhale that smoke
Turn that shade to a stone-cold quote
Pressure in my chest when the phone light up
Every new call feel like “time’s up”
[Chorus]
I hold my breath till the pain turn numb
Blood in my mouth but I still don’t run
Hard in my chest like a loaded drum
I don’t let it out
I don’t let it out
I bite down hard when the world gets loud
Fear in my lungs but I don’t back down
Life on the edge, can’t save me now
I don’t let it out
I don’t let it out (yeah)
[Bridge]
Count to ten with my fists all tight
Every little second like a fistfight
If I exhale, might lose this high
So I stay locked in, veins on fire
[Chorus]
I hold my breath till the pain turn numb
Blood in my mouth but I still don’t run
Hard in my chest like a loaded drum
I don’t let it out
I don’t let it out
I bite down hard when the world gets loud
Fear in my lungs but I don’t back down
Life on the edge, can’t save me now
I don’t let it out
I don’t let it out (I hold my breath)
