[Intro]
[clean guitar arpeggios
Huge verb]
Cold drip from the ceiling
Rust bloom on the frame
Your shadow moves without you
I still taste your name
[Verse 1]
You taught me how to swallow fire
Said
"Pain is just a borrowed suit"
Glass teeth
Golden tongue desire
Cutting through the rotten fruit
You branded every doubt in silence
Little crowns of buried shame
I carved escape routes in the drywall
You just carved your perfect name
[Chorus]
Glass teeth
Golden tongue
You bit down till I came undone
You turned my heartbeat into drums
But I won't march to that again
Glass teeth
Golden tongue
You fed me lies until I was numb
I hear you calling from your throne
I won't crawl back there again
[Verse 2]
You dressed control up like devotion
Pulled my strings with gentle hands
Called it fate
Called it "forever"
Just a cage in wedding bands
I wore your verdict like a medal
Stood in line for one more bruise
But every scar became a roadmap
Now they only point from you
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register
Building]
You only feel tall when I'm crawling
You only feel pure when I'm stained
You only feel whole when I'm hollow
When I'm breaking under your weight
[harsh vocals]
I am not the sum
Of the bones you’ve rearranged
I am not the hymn
To your hunger and your rage
[guitar solo – long
Lyrical
Then shredding]
[Chorus]
[Outro]
[clean arpeggios return
Cavernous verb]
Cold drip from the ceiling
Dust dancing in the glow
I leave your name here on the doorway
Turn my back
Let it go
